Cost Effective Treatment for Dually Diagnosed Homeless
Cost Effective Treatment for Dually Diagnosed Homeless

This randomized controlled trial examined whether an abbreviated treatment using abstinence contingency management for housing and work/training (CM, n=103) with cocaine dependent, non-psychotic, dually diagnosed homeless persons, would show non-inferior outcomes compared to the full treatment (CM+, n=103). It was hypothesized that CM+ would show superior abstinence and retention outcomes, but that CM, with components derived from previously effective behavioral day treatment, would obtain non-inferior outcomes, defined as 75% or more of those observed for the full treatment (CM+) during active treatment months 1-6. The CM+ included all CM components but added behavioral day treatment that included voucher reinforcement of $7.50-15.00, for objective weekly therapeutic goal attainment in five domains of functioning: drug dependence, homelessness, unemployment, non-drug related recreational activities, and behavioral, health, or mental health problems. Abstinence was assessed by observed urine specimen collection and weekly testing weeks 1-52, and randomly, bi-monthly for months 13-18. Abstinence, homelessness, employment and other outcomes were also assessed at baseline, 2, 6, 12, and 18 months.
