Pdf Summary

This document discusses the use of digital interventions for substance use and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. It is part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI) initiative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and implemented by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The document outlines the prevalence of substance use disorders (SUDs) and co-occurring disorders, as well as the effectiveness of digital interventions for these conditions.<br /><br />The prevalence of SUDs and co-occurring disorders is described based on recent national survey data. The document highlights the higher rates of hospitalization, suicide, relapses, trauma, homelessness, and poor treatment outcomes among individuals with co-occurring SUDs and serious mental illness (SMI).<br /><br />The document also discusses different treatment models for co-occurring disorders, including sequential, simultaneous, and integrated approaches. It provides evidence for the efficacy of digital interventions such as screening and brief intervention, motivational enhancement, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and contingency management.<br /><br />Specific digital interventions for SUDs and co-occurring disorders are described, including web-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, mobile apps for SUDs, and gender-specific treatment for women. The document highlights the benefits of technology in reaching more people, reducing geographic barriers, providing cost-effective care, and collecting objective data.<br /><br />The use of technology to deliver gender-specific treatment for women is explored, with a focus on adapting the Women's Recovery Group (WRG) program into a web-based format. The results of pilot studies on these interventions are discussed, including participant satisfaction and improvements in substance use and willingness to change.<br /><br />The document concludes by acknowledging the mentors, collaborators, and funding sources involved in the research, and provides a bibliography of relevant studies and resources. The audience is invited to submit questions for a presenter Q&A session.
