A sociodemographic sheet, the Decisional Balance Scale, the Fagerstro¨m Test for Nicotine Dependence, the Readiness to Change Questionnaire, the Stress Test Questionnaire, and the Stress Management technique Questionnaire were used. Results Heart attack episodes were decreased in the experimental group by 50% after intervention with higher ‘high motivation’ to quit (98.33 and 91.66% in post and follow- up, respectively) compared with the preintervention period (1.67%). In the pre and follow-up periods, very low nicotine dependence was reported in 86.67 and 91.67% of the experimental group, respectively, compared with 8.33% in preintervention period. Also, 91.67% of the experimental group stopped smoking successfully in the follow-up period compared with 45% of the control group.

This influence can help encourage substance users to receive treatment, help them remain engaged in treatment, and allow those being treated to receive understanding from their loved ones they might not have received without this treatment component. Providing effective substance use treatment to families should take different aspects into consideration, including family dynamics, cultural aspects, and using the best treatment methods available. Treatment providers may not know how to incorporate social supports into specific treatment interventions.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: DUI: TREATMENT COMPLIANCE, RETENTION, AND MOTIVATION FOR TREATMENT . Aaron Ashby Harris , Doctor of Philosophy , 200 6 Directed By: Dr. Kevin O’Grady , Department of Psychology Alcohol abuse and its treatment ha ve been an increasing focus of legal, social , and treatment research during recent decades . Motivational Interviewing (MI) is one treatment approach that has received considerable attention and increasing empirical support for treating individuals with al cohol use problems . DUI offender s represent a subgroup of the alcohol -abusing population who appear to face unique issues related to “coerced treatment”, low motivation for change, and a major treatment focus on decreasing recidivism. Success in treating this population been mixed. Given their unique treatment issues, DUI offenders may particularly benefit from MI’s focus on increasing motivation for change. However, only preliminary research examining the impact of MI on DUI offender s currently exists. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that affect treatment participation, treatment engagement, and drinking behaviors by implementing a MI intervention with DUI offenders mandated to enroll in an outpatient treatment program. This stud y was the first to consider recidivist status and examine the efficacy of MI with DUI offenders with a reasonable sample size ( N = 98). A brief MI intervention was randomly administered to 48 of the DUI offenders enrolling in outpatient treatment and data was collected at baseline and 3 -month follow -up. Results of primary analyses revealed that only one outcome, self -confidence , was significantly affected by any predictor variables (i.e., treatment group, recidivist status, and motivation for treatment).

Cannabis was introduced to Europeans in the 9th Century via Napoleon's troops returning from Egypt and to Britain for medical use by a surgeon who has served in India. There was some recreational use in Persian bohemian demimonde in the late 19th Century. Recreational cannabis use was introduced in the United States in the 1930 from Mexico and spread via Jazz Musician to cities in the Northeastern United States. International Drug Control Treaties banned its use in United States in 1938 and in most other countries in 1961. It was used in Bohemian circles in the United States in the 1940 and 1950 before gradually disseminated to wider. US Youth Population in late 1960s and through the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Motivational Interviewing
    Motivational Interviewing Jassin M. Jouria, MD MI INTRODUCTION Motivational interviewing (MI) is a method that promotes behavior change, and can be used in a multitude of environments and situations to foster growth and to help people to take on challenging situations. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative process that edifies the client and makes him or her responsible for personal choices. It is not necessarily a stand-alone type of therapy, but instead can be incorporated into treatments and routine care for clients with various health issues, including those with physical health problems, mental health issues, or substance abuse and addiction. MI has also successfully been used along with other forms of therapy to improve connection between the client and the provider and to alter the process at which the client makes changes in his or her life. Therapists can use motivational interviewing in a number of situations, yet it should always be recognized that no one could be forced to change. Although the goal of MI is not to directly change a person’s behavior, it does guide the client toward making different choices that can foster change in his or her life. The concept of motivational interviewing began in the early 1980s with the publication of a book by William R. Miller, PhD, who focused his model of MI on working with people suffering from substance abuse and addiction. The book was titled Motivational Interviewing with Problem Drinkers and it was initially used among psychiatrists and other professionals who provided counseling services for people going through treatment for addiction [5].

  • Clinical Trial of Abstinence-Based Vouchers and Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy for Cannabis Dependence
    Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Copyright 2006 by the American Psychological Association 2006, Vol. 74, No. 2, 307–316 0022-006X/06/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0022-006X.74.2.307 Clinical Trial of Abstinence-Based Vouchers and Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy for Cannabis Dependence Alan J. Budney, Brent A. Moore, Heath L. Rocha, and Stephen T. Higgins University of Vermont Ninety cannabis-dependent adults seeking treatment were randomly assigned to receive cognitive– behavioral therapy, abstinence-based voucher incentives, or their combination. Treatment duration was 14 weeks, and outcomes were assessed for 12 months posttreatment. Findings suggest that (a) abstinence- based vouchers were effective for engendering extended periods of continuous marijuana abstinence during treatment, (b) cognitive–behavioral therapy did not add to this during-treatment effect, and (c) cognitive–behavioral therapy enhanced the posttreatment maintenance of the initial positive effect of vouchers on abstinence. This study extends the literature on cannabis dependence, indicating that a program of abstinence-based vouchers is a potent treatment option. Discussion focuses on the strengths of each intervention, the clinical significance of the findings, and the need to continue efforts toward development of effective interventions.
