About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well three types of treatments work to improve the outcomes for people with substance use problems. Veterans admitted to the Charleston VA Psychiatric inpatient unit may be invited to participate. The three types of treatments that will be evaluated are:

1. Combined Recovery Program (CRP), a six-session treatment group delivered on the inpatient unit. 2. A Home Telehealth program, called Stable and Able (S\&A), provided just prior to discharge and provides additional support for up to 3 months 3. Treatment-as-usual (TAU), which is the treatment currently provided on the unit, consisting of various mental health topics and sessions designed to help with recovery.

Participation begins on the inpatient unit, beginning with CRP and/or TAU, and may continue with S\&A post discharge. Participants will be followed up at 1 and 3- months post treatment.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Standard Ethanol Content Units (SECs) Baseline

The Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) calendar was used to assess retrospective self-report of alcohol at Baseline (e.g., the past 30 days is defined as 'Baseline'). Amount of alcohol consumption was converted to standard ethanol content units (SECs; or standard drinks) equivalent to 0.5 oz. of ethanol. This measure represents ALL standard drinks consumed within the stated time period.

Time frame
Baseline
2

Standard Ethanol Content Units (SECs) at 1 month

The Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) calendar was used to assess retrospective self-report of alcohol in the 30 days after the first day of treatment. Amount of alcohol consumption was converted to standard ethanol content units (SECs; or standard drinks) equivalent to 0.5 oz. of ethanol. This measure represents ALL standard drinks consumed within the stated time period.

3

Standard Ethanol Content Units (SECs) at 3 month

The Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) calendar was used to assess retrospective self-report of alcohol in the 60 days after the 1-month follow-up. Amount of alcohol consumption was converted to standard ethanol content units (SECs; or standard drinks) equivalent to 0.5 oz. of ethanol. This measure represents ALL standard drinks consumed within the stated time period.

4

Peak SEC at Baseline

The Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) calendar was used to assess retrospective self-report of alcohol in the 30 days prior to baseline. Amount of alcohol consumption was converted to standard ethanol content units (SECs; or standard drinks) equivalent to 0.5 oz. of ethanol. This measure represents the most standard drinks consumed in a single day within the stated time period.
