  1. Enhancing Co-Occurring Disorder Services in Addiction Treatment:Preliminary Findings of the Texas Co-Occurring State Incentive GrantDartmouth Psychiatric Research Center SeminarMay 2007

  2. Texas COSIG Project The goal of the COSIG project is to improve the delivery of state-funded services for clients in Texas with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders (COPSD). The project consists of two components designed to promote system change and to enhance specialized clinical skills of providers treating COPSD.

  3. COSIG Project Component #1 Focused education at the clinician level regarding treatment issues relevant to COPSD and training on the use of diagnostic and assessment instruments to enhance identification of psychiatric comorbidity and monitor progress of clients.

  4. COPSD Curriculum Modules Module 1: Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders Module 2: Depression and Substance Use Disorders Module 3: Substance Use and Bipolar Disorders Module 4: Anxiety and Substance Use Module 5: Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, and Substance Use Disorders Module 6: Substance Use – Motives and Consequences Module 7: Principles of Treatment Module 8: Relapse Prevention

  5. Diagnostic and Assessment Measures • Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) • Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) • Brief Derogatis Psychiatric Rating Scale (BDPRS) • Substance Abuse Treatment Scale (SATS) • Ancillary Service Assessment • Client Evaluation of Self in Treatment (CEST)

  6. Counselor Comments on Use of Diagnostic and Assessment Measures • Repeated administration of the MINI has increased understanding of disorders and enhanced ability to recognize potential symptoms • Using results of measures has assisted in “bridging a gap” by facilitating interactions with mental health providers • Administration can enhance client awareness of COD issues – many have never been asked these questions before • Results highlight issues to be addressed in sessions with clients and provide a means to monitor progress

  7. COSIG Project Component #2 A voucher system that provides additional funding for procurement of ancillary services in an effort to address the multifaceted needs of COPSD clients and to support the treatment and recovery process ($1,800 per client).

  25. Programs Value Regular Feedback Provider reported uses of data reports: • Internal monitoring of COSIG program implementation • Greater understanding of COD client characteristics and individual needs to guide programming • Board of Directors and Executive Management Team presentations • Presentations to other community service providers to enhance networking (i.e., probation department, homeless alliances, planning and advisory committees) • Data for grant and other funding applications

  26. Preliminary OutcomesClient and Service Characteristics Associated with Treatment Completion

  27. COSIG Client Outcomes • Data were obtained for 424 COSIG clients who entered and were discharged from substance abuse treatment during the period of February 2005 through October 2006 • 76% of the sample completed treatment • Treatment completers (n=323) and non-completers (n=101) were compared on client and service characteristics

  28. Client Demographics • Treatment completers were more likely to be male (51% vs. 34%) and homeless (24% vs. 14%) • The groups did not differ in race/ethnicity, education, age, marital status, employment, or past year substance-related arrests

  29. MINI Diagnostic Impressions

  30. Psychiatric Symptom Severity • No differences were found in client-reported symptom severity on the Brief Symptom Inventory scales • Clinicians rated non-completers as having more severe symptoms on the interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and hostility scales on the Brief Derogatis Psychiatric Rating Scale

  31. Primary Substance of Abuse

  32. Substance Use Patterns • Completers reported a greater primary substance use during the month prior to admission (15 vs.12 days) • A greater percentage of non-completers reported polysubstance use (56% vs. 42%) • No differences were found in total years of primary substance use or history of IV drug use

  33. Substance Abuse Treatment History

  34. Discharge Characteristics • Completers had higher past month abstinence rates (88% vs. 61%) • Completers had higher past month AA attendance (95% vs. 78%) • No group differences were found in length of stay in treatment (approximately 100 days)

  35. Voucher Service Utilization

  36. Recovery and Social Support Service Combinations

  37. Conclusions • Higher treatment completion for males indicates that women with COD may need specialized interventions in substance abuse treatment • A study analyzing gender differences using a subset of these data revealed that women demonstrated higher awareness of psychiatric issues relative to substance abuse problems, suggesting that substance abuse treatment inventions may need greater focus on the interaction of the two disorders* *(Mangrum, Spence, & Steinley-Bumgarner, 2006)

  38. Conclusions • Lower completion rates for clients with bipolar and posttraumatic stress disorders suggest that these syndromes may be more difficult to treat in substance abuse treatment settings • Substance abuse counselors may need training on specific interventions targeting these two disorders

  39. Conclusions • The 76% completion rate for the total sample is higher than previously calculated statewide averages, suggesting that the provision of recovery and social support services may enhance treatment outcomes • A study examining clients receiving COPSD services in Texas during FY 2004 revealed a 57% completion rate* • Other analyses of general substance abuse treatment clients in Texas have indicated completion rates ranging from 51 - 54% *(Mangrum & Spence, 2005)

  40. Conclusions • Peer mentoring had the strongest association with treatment completion • Social support services, particularly in the absence of peer mentoring, were associated with non-completion • Similar trends have been found in the Texas ATR voucher service data, indicating that direct recovery support services are associated with greater completion rates, whereas the provision of social support services only is more highly associated with non-completion
