Abstract
- This paper describes a technology transfer initiative in which Network Therapy (NT), a substance abuse treatment that utilizes peer and family support, was disseminated to a cohort of addictions counselors located in an outpatient community-based addictions treatment center. Training methods included a didactic seminar, role-playing, use of videotaped illustrations, and clinical supervision, and are described in detail. Counselors then implemented the NT approach with a sample of cocaine-abusing patients (N = 10) who were being treated concurrently with the standard program provided by the treatment setting. NT patients were compared by chart review with a cohort of cocaine abusers who received community treatment--as-usual (TAU) (N = 20). The groups did not differ on demographic variables or the amount of TAU received at the community program. However, NT patients had significantly less positive urinalyses than TAU patients, though they were not significantly different in terms of treatment retention. Implications for technology transfer are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
