Active clinical trials for "Substance-Related Disorders"

Many people living with HIV use illicit drugs and require treatment for both HIV and drug use, however, many barriers exist which prevent integration of dual care services. This study will develop a novel intervention aimed at the provider-level which will combine an evidence-based training model with use of mobile technology to improve care coordination between providers at HIV clinics and substance use treatment facilities. If proven effective, this intervention may be widely disseminated and easily implemented into existing clinic structures, thereby improving care coordination among providers and linkage to dual treatment for HIV-infected people who use drugs.

The investigators propose to lay the groundwork for a larger effectiveness clinical trial that will lead to the advancement of a novel evidence-based treatment for DUD and HIV among Spanish-speaking Latinos who suffer from self-stigma and have inadequate treatment adherence. This pilot project aims to: compare the outcomes of a culturally adapted CBT-based intervention to treatment as usual (TAU), in a randomized pilot trial of HIV+ individuals with a lifetime DUD.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based education given to individuals with substance-use disorder according to Self-Efficacy Theory on self-efficacy perception. Sample was 112 (ewperimental group: 56; control group: 56) alpha=0,05 and power=0,80 et the and of study. The experimental group recevied, prepared in accordance with mindfulness, self-efficacy theory psychoeducation program, the control group received routine care. Data were collected 2 times: pretest, 2 month after intervention (for experimental group) and 2 month after pretest (for control group).

Opioid use disorder is a major public health problem. Although there are effective treatments for this disorder, many people still relapse and thus there is a need for new treatments to improve outcomes. People who have a strong emotional and physical response to stress are at a higher risk of relapse. The goal of this project is to test the effect of strategies to reduce response to stress in people diagnosed with opioid use disorder. Men and women diagnosed with opioid use disorder will be recruited for a one-session study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three brief instructional conditions followed by a brief laboratory stress test. Investigators hypothesize that, compared to education about stress, brief strategies to help people cope with negative emotions will reduce responses to stress and increase tolerance of stress. If this hypothesis is supported, it will inform the development of new treatments to improve outcome in opioid use disorder.

The investigators seek to assess the effectiveness of Project POINT (Planned Outreach, Intervention, Naloxone, and Treatment). As originated in Indianapolis, Project POINT is a collaboration between Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (EMS), the Eskenazi Emergency Department, Midtown Mental Health, and researchers at Indiana University. POINT is a quality improvement initiative that connects trained outreach workers with emergency department (ED) patients who experienced a non-fatal overdose. A member of the POINT team (a recovery coach or care coordinator with specialized training) meets patients after they have experienced an opioid overdose and, following a model of patient-centered care, offers them a range of evidence-based services including a brief assessment of high-risk behaviors, Hepatitis C and HIV testing, harm reduction counseling informed by motivational interviewing, and treatment referrals with follow-up to either a medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) provider, detoxification services, or an inpatient treatment setting The primary goal of this project is the establishment of POINT as an effective and scalable intervention for engaging patients in MAT. This study employs a Hybrid Type 1 effectiveness implementation design to take full advantage of current POINT expansion efforts currently happening in Indiana. The goal of this study is to replicate POINT in new hospitals and test its feasibility through (a) assessment of the chosen implementation strategy and (b) the testing of research protocols and secondary data collection procedures.

The main aim of this formative study is to test and iteratively refine a new mobile phone app, which delivers assessments and tailored intervention content. The study will use social media advertisements to recruit a total of 40 youth between the ages of 16-24 years. Those screening positive for past-month binge drinking or marijuana use will be invited to complete a baseline survey, download and use the app for 30 days, and complete a follow-up survey about the app functionality, design and content, and preliminary outcomes (intentions and importance of reducing use).

The goal of this study is to effectively use a client-centered community-based intervention to engage people who inject drugs (PWIDs) in healthcare that helps reduce risky behaviors and lower infectious disease risks. Participants in the intervention group of this study will undergo a 12-week intensive multilevel harm reduction case-management intervention at three rural Vivent Health offices geared towards reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and overdose risks in PWIDs. Prevention Navigators (PNs) at each office will help coordinate referrals to reduce substance use disorder and increase engagement in the substance use disorder care cascades. PNs will also engage participants in HIV, HCV, and sexually transmitted infections(STIs) care cascades.

This study demonstrates the feasibility, acceptability of SKY program as an adjuvant therapy for American population suffering with OUD through a pilot program in Columbus, Ohio. The aim of this study is to evaluate the SKY program as an adjuvant therapy to treat opioid addiction.

It is now well-accepted that lowering community-level viral load through expansion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce HIV transmission among people who use drugs. However, achieving durable viral suppression among patients with substance use disorders is a major challenge for providers and health systems. This study aims to adapt and implement an existing mobile health (mHealth) system, A-CHESS (Addiction Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System) to improve care for HIV patients with substance use disorders.

This will be a pre-market, explorative, early feasibility, pilot, controlled clinical investigation designed to collect initial clinical data for Previct Drugs.
