Likewise excluded are publications that focus on non-professional staff, such as clerical workers. The bibliography consists of 10 citations. Most of the citations involve surveys of substance abuse treatment programs and staff regarding turnover. One citation attends to the relevant issue of staff "burnout" through a literature review and case study in a substance abuse program.

We aimed to estimate the difference in opioid relapse-free survival between XR-NTX and BUP-NX. We initiated this 24 week, open-label, randomised controlled, comparative effectiveness trial at eight US community-based inpatient services and followed up participants as outpatients. Participants were 18 years or older, had Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 opioid use disorder, and had used non-prescribed opioids in the past 30 days. We stratified participants by treatment site and opioid use severity and used a web-based permuted block design with random equally weighted block sizes of four and six for randomisation (1:1) to receive XR-NTX or BUP-NX. XR-NTX was monthly intramuscular injections (Vivitrol; Alkermes) and BUP-NX was daily self-admin...

These behaviors are predicted by early drug use, parental substance use disorders, and disrupted and conflict-ridden family environments. To examine long-term outcomes of Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in the rates of drug use, number of arrests and externalizing behaviors in young adults who were randomized into treatment conditions as adolescents. 261 of 480 adolescents who had been randomized to BSFT or TAU in the BSFT effectiveness study were assessed at a single time, 3-7 years post randomization. Assessments of drug use, externalizing behaviors, arrests and incarcerations were conducted using Timeline Follow Back, Adult Self Report, and self-report, respectively. Drug use, arrests and incarcerations were examined using negative binomial models and externalizing behaviors were examined using linear regression. When compared with TAU, BSFT youth reported l...

The enormous increase in obesity during adolescence is as serious as the rise in adolescent substance abuse. Both issues pose a current major public health problem in the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of two interventions implemented to address the issue of weight management in residential facilities treating adolescent substance use disorders. A secondary purpose was to determine if treatment effect size was a function of mandated smoking cessation and prescribed psychotropic medications. Both pre- and post- weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) were used as outcome variables. ABSTRACT: The data were provided in a secondary database collected on 120 adolescent males randomly assigned to aerobic exercise only or aerobic exercise plus nutrition ed...

Researchers and treatment programs collaborated closely to identify and overcome challenges, many of them related to achieving results that were both scientifically rigorous and applicable to the widest possible variety of adolescent substance abuse treatment programs. To meet these challenges, the collaborative team drew on lessons and practices from efficacy, effectiveness, and implementation research.

Design-Multisite randomized controlled trial, with assessments at baseline, mid-treatment, end of treatment, and 3-and 6-month post-randomization follow-ups (FU).

Method-A randomized effectiveness trial in the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network compared BSFT to TAU with a multiethnic sample of adolescents (213 Hispanic, 148 White, and 110 Black) referred for drug abuse treatment at 8 community treatment agencies nationwide. Randomization encompassed both adolescents' families (n = 480) and the agency therapists (n = 49) who provided either TAU or BSFT services. The primary outcome was adolescent drug use, assessed monthly via adolescent self-report and urinalysis for up to 1 year post randomization. Secondary outcomes included treatment engagement (≥2 sessions), retention (≥8 sessions), and participants' reports of family functioning 4, 8, and 12 months following randomization. Results-No overall differences between conditions were observed in the trajectories of selfreports of adolescent drug use. However, the median number of days of self-reported drug use was significantly higher, χ 2 (1) = 5.40, p < .02, in TAU (Mdn = 3.5, interquartile range [IQR] = 11) than BSFT (Mdn = 2, IQR = 9) at the final observation point. BSFT was significantly more effective than TAU in engaging, χ 2 (1) = 11.33, p < .001, and retaining, χ 2 (1) = 5.66, p < .02, family members in treatment and in improving parent reports of family functioning, χ 2 (2) = 9.10, p < .011. Conclusions-We discuss challenges in treatment implementation in community settings and provide recommendations for further research.
