Development of a novel, integrated cognitive-behavioral therapy for co-occurring posttraumatic stress and substance use disorders: A pilot randomized clinical trial.
Contemporary Clinical Trials 2018 Februrary
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) are complex psychiatric conditions that commonly co-occur. No evidence-based, 'gold standard' treatments for PTSD/SUD comorbidity are currently available. The present pilot randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel, integrated cognitive-behavioral treatment approach for PTSD/SUD, entitled Treatment of Integrated Posttraumatic Stress and Substance Use (TIPSS), as compared to standard cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for SUD. The TIPSS program integrates cognitive processing therapy with CBT for SUD for the treatment of co-occurring PTSD/SUD. Both treatment conditions are comprised of 12, 60-minute individual psychotherapy sessions, delivered twice-weekly over six weeks. Primary aims examine whether TIPSS, compared to standard CBT for SUD, reduces: (1) PTSD symptoms and (2) substance use outcomes (i.e., self-report, objective). Secondary aims examine whether (a) trauma- and substance cue reactivity and (b) distress tolerance (i.e., actual or perceived ability to withstand uncomfortable emotional or physical states) are significant mechanisms of change. The study was recently closed to new enrollment. Participants included adults with substance dependence and at least four symptoms of PTSD.
