Another Way of Talking About Substance Abuse
This article provides experiential evidence on the transportability of the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) screening tool and brief intervention in a mental health clinic. There is very little published information on implementing screening and brief intervention (SBI) in a mental health setting. Moreover, few SBI projects have reported on clinicians' experiences using the ASSIST. The article documents a succes…
Childhood Adverse Events and Health Outcomes Among Methamphetamine-Dependent Men and Women
Childhood Adverse Events and Methamphetamine Use Among Men and Women
Women report extensive histories of childhood abuse, often leading to addiction. Studies assessing the same effects for men are lacking. This study describes childhood adverse events (CAEs) among methamphetamine (MA)-dependent men and women and assesses the relationship of CAEs to the onset and severity of dependence. Baseline and three-year interview data were collected for 236 men and 351 women. Dependent variables included onset of MA and seve…
Criminal Justice Treatment Admissions for Methamphetamine Use in California
Methamphetamine (MA) use is considered as one of the nation's most pressing drug problems. In California, MA use has outstripped all other drugs in epidemiological extent, law enforcement activities, and treatment services demand. An opportunity for further study of MA use and its treatment emerged from a change in offender sentencing options introduced by California's Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (SACPA). Results indicate tha…
Diffusion of Substance Abuse Treatment
The availability of buprenorphine promises to return the treatment of heroin addiction to mainstream medicine in the United States for the first time in nearly a century. This new treatment also provides an opportunity to reflect on the introduction of methadone and LAAM and their subsequent successes and failures in clinical implementation. The three articles that follow in this issue highlight the potential pharmacological, clinical, and logist…
The Matrix Model of Outpatient Stimulant Abuse Treatment
The Matrix model was originally developed in response to the cocaine epidemic of the 1980s. The program consists of relapse prevention groups, education groups, social support groups, individual counseling, and urine and breath testing delivered in a structured manner over a 16-week period. The treatment is a directive, nonconfrontational approach which focuses on current issues and behavior change. Several evaluations of the model have supported…
The CSAT Methamphetamine Treatment Program
The Methamphetamine Treatment Program (MTP), funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, has the objectives of implementing the Matrix outpatient model and evaluating that model in comparison to the existing community "treatments as usual." Seven organizations in three western states (California, Montana, and Hawaii) were selected to participate in this randomized, controlled, multisite project in what constitutes the largest trial to dat…
Methamphetamine and Cocaine Users
The use of methamphetamine and cocaine have both produced significant public health problems during the past two decades. Although these powerful psychostimulants have many common acute and chronic effects, there are some important differences in who uses these drugs and the consequences of their use. This article reports on two large cohorts of treatment-seeking cocaine and methamphetamine users who entered treatment at the same facility over th…
Reasons for Discharge from Methadone Maintenance for Addicts at High Risk of HIV Infection or Transmission
This article reports on a methadone maintenance program that had the goal of retaining in treatment heroin addicts at high risk of HIV infection and/or transmission. Subjects were recruited from four-high-risk target groups and randomly assigned to either an enhanced or standard methadone maintenance group. The analysis examined predictors of any type of discharge, negative discharge, and circumstantial discharge. Discharge for any reason was mor…
