All aspects of the program were delivered via smartphone-based app. Intervention components included counseling (cognitive behavioral therapy in group and individual sessions), app-based therapeuti…

The Addiction Severity Index at 25
The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a multidimensional interview used to measure the substance use, health, and social problems of those with alcohol and other drug problems, both at admission to treatment and subsequently at follow‐up contacts. This article first discusses the conceptual and practical importance of the ASI's multi‐dimensional approach to measuring addiction severity, as illustrated by two case presentations. The second section…
Drug Dependence, a Chronic Medical Illness
The effects of drug dependence on social systems has helped shape the generally held view that drug dependence is primarily a social problem, not a health problem. In turn, medical approaches to prevention and treatment are lacking. We examined evidence that drug (including alcohol) dependence is a chronic medical illness. A literature review compared the diagnoses, heritability, etiology (genetic and environmental factors), pathophysiology, and …

Stage of Change” by Drug Problem in Concurrent Opioid, Cocaine, and Cigarette Users
Within the field of addiction, the majority of work regarding "stages and processes of change" has focused on single drug problems, such as cigarette smoking or alcohol use. However, the majority of the substance abuse treatment population present with more than one substance use disorder. This article reports the results of the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) in a sampl…

Do therapists vary much in their success? Findings from four outcome studies
Success rates of psychotherapists were compared across each of four treatment outcome studies, with results indicating: considerable difference between therapists in their average success rates; considerable variability in outcome within the caseload of individual therapists; little support for the widely held view that certain therapists are best for certain kinds of patients; and variations in success rate typically have more to do with the the…
New Data from the Addiction Severity Index Reliability and Validity in Three Centers
The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a clinical/research instrument which has been in wide use during the past 6 years to assess the treatment problems found in alcohol- and drug-abusing patients. In a study of male veterans, a preliminary evaluation of the ASI has indicated reliability and validity. The present report presents an expanded examination of these issues; 181 subjects from three treatment centers were studied. Results of concurrent …
The Parenting Function of Therapeutic Communities
156 male inpatients and 11 staff members of an alcohol rehabilitation program therapeutic community (TC) completed weekly administrations of the Assessment of Healing Scale (AHE). AHE is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the TC, the capacity of the program to allow for positive change, to be excessively permissive, to provide reasonable controls, and to be overcontrolling. These are interpreted to represent the Collective Controlling and …
An Improved Diagnostic Evaluation Instrument for Substance Abuse Patients
The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a structured clinical interview developed to fill the need for a reliable, valid, and standardized diagnostic and evaluative instrument in the field of alcohol and drug abuse. The ASI may be administered by a technician in 20 to 30 minutes producing 10-point problem severity ratings in each of six areas commonly affected by addiction. Analyses of these problem severity ratings on 524 male veteran alcoholics a…
