TL;DR: Family therapy is the treatment with the strongest evidence of comparative effectiveness, although most types of treatment appear to be beneficial in helping adolescents reduce their substance use.

TL;DR: Despite the presence of pre-treatment gender differences in this population, once the study treatment was initiated, women and men exhibited similar opioid use outcomes.

TL;DR: The limited evidence suggests that brief interventions may be effective with adolescents, but a number of gaps in the literature were identified and Randomized trials are needed that have adequate statistical power, employ longer-term follow-ups, and test the effectiveness of SBIRT for adolescents in various service delivery settings.

TL;DR: The findings indicate the underutilization of substance abuse treatment among all adults, and highlight some important factors to consider when working with sexual minorities.

TL;DR: This project developed and tested a 17-item monitoring instrument covering important substance use related behaviors to support measurement-based care and outcomes assessment and revealed that this Brief Addiction Monitor exhibited acceptable characteristics.

TL;DR: It is concluded that recovery support services (RSS) should be further assessed for effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, that greater efforts must be made to develop the RSS delivery workforce, and that RSS should capitalize on ongoing efforts to create a comprehensive, integrated and patient-centered health care system.

TL;DR: The implementation of OEND among people taking methadone in the previous 30 days in various settings in Massachusetts is described and 92 overdose rescues are reported.

TL;DR: Group motivational interviewing interventions that target youth at-risk for alcohol and other drug use and delinquency decreased for both groups at 3 months, and 12-month recidivism rates were lower but not significantly different for the Free Talk group compared to UC.

TL;DR: Findings provide new insights into cognitive processes involved with decision-making and cigarette consumption and suggest that like all medications for substance dependence, HF rTMS is likely to be most effective when paired with cognitive-behavioral interventions.

TL;DR: A meta-analytic review of clinicians' MI-training and MI-skills findings suggested higher MI proficiency in the professionals trained in MI than in nontrained ones (medium ES), but this estimate of ES may be affected by a publication bias and therefore, should be considered with caution.

TL;DR: Findings support further research on affect regulation interventions for negative affect drinkers and could be added to enhance cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for alcohol dependence.

TL;DR: The characteristics and the validity of the Recent Status Scores (RSSs), the new summary scores generated by the sixth version of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI-6), are compared to the fifth versions of the ASI summary scores, the Composite Scores (CSs).

TL;DR: It is concluded that initiating buprenorphine/naloxone prior to release from incarceration may increase engagement and retention in community-based treatment.

TL;DR: The one-session EARLY intervention had less powerful effects than multi-session AEP prevention interventions among community women, but may provide a new option in a continuum of preventive care.

TL;DR: Examining the role of pre-quit sleep quality on early lapse to cannabis use following a self-guided quit attempt, among 55 cannabis dependent military veterans indicated that participants who experienced poor pre- Quit sleep quality had greater risk for lapse within the first 2 days following their quit attempt.

TL;DR: Data suggest patient preference discussions including relapse risk could increase post-detox abstinence, and the odds of desiring a treatment medication increased by a factor of 1.02 for every 1% increase in perceived relapse risk.

TL;DR: A clinical case is presented that illustrates a typical pattern of usage of Bath salts and a description of their basic chemistry, appearance, methods of delivery, withdrawal and intoxication characteristics, treatment recommendations, and areas for further research are presented.

TL;DR: The frequency and strength with which some CT sub-dimensions are expressed during BMI seemed to be important predictors of change in drinking among young men and might thus be especially important for clinicians to notice.

TL;DR: The project demonstrated that COD capability can be assessed system-wide, using direct observation, and showed that the actual delivery of effective treatment was less satisfactory.

TL;DR: Results demonstrated that the substance abuse group scored higher than the non-clinical comparison group on 9 of the 18 early maladaptive schemas.

TL;DR: While severe SUD may require more intensive psychosocial treatment, OROS-MPH may improve substance treatment outcomes in adolescents with co-morbid attention and conduct problems.

TL;DR: The results suggest that methamphetamine-dependent and cocaine-dependent patients may have different impulsivity profiles but that the BIS-11 may be useful in identifying both methamphetamine- dependent and cocaine -dependent patients who are at risk for treatment non-completion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week combined group plus individual 12-step facilitative intervention on stimulant drug use and meeting attendance and service in a group setting.

TL;DR: Women who reported weight-based concerns (both with regards to weight gain during treatment and relapse potential) endorsed higher levels of body dissatisfaction, dieting, bulimic symptoms, and thin-ideal internalization than women who did not endorse weight-related concerns.

TL;DR: The results, together with data from focus groups with completers, suggest that comprehensive health and social risk assessments may have quite strong intervention effects among young adult multidrug users.

TL;DR: The findings of this study indicated that count data with many zeros do not necessarily require zero-inflated or other zero-adjusting models, and a simpler model such as the negative binomial model may provide a better fit.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis summarizes 41 studies that examined associations between characteristics of adolescent participants in juvenile drug treatment court and outcomes and revealed that behavior patterns evidenced during drug court participation were most strongly associated with both the probability of graduating successfully from drug court and recidivism.

TL;DR: Examination of retention in methadone versus buprenorphine treatment over 6 months among urban African Americans receiving treatment in one of four publicly-funded programs confirms a retention disparity in this population, and suggests potential avenues for future research to enhance retention in bupreliminary results suggest.

TL;DR: This mixed methods study examined motivations and barriers to substance abuse treatment entry and treatment continuation among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) substance users.

TL;DR: W weighted logistic regression indicated that agency provision of standardized assessment instruments was not associated with caseworker identification of caregiver needs, and caseworkers were also less likely to identify substance abuse when their caseloads were high and when caregivers were fathers.
