Treatment Process and Relapse to Opioid Use During Methadone Maintenance

The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (1994)

George W. Joe D. Dwayne Simpson S. B. Sells

A general framework for studying drug abuse treatment process factors is presented, and components are then used to predict relapse to opioid use during treatment in methadone maintenance. Major domains of the treatment process research framework include client variables at entry, program characteristics, treatment events, and client outcomes. The analyses rely on the use of proportional hazards models to identify significant outcome predictors in a sample of 590 methadone maintenance clients from 21 clinics in the Research Triangle Institute/Treatment Outcome Prospective Study (RTI/TOPS) data system who remained in treatment at least 3 months. The analyses were performed on the total sample and separately on clients from three groups of clinics classified on the basis of the distribution of client relapse rates and tenure in treatment. Relapse rates were related to dosage level, client monitoring with urinalyses, and methadone take-home privileges in some clinics, and hence, these time-varying treatment events were important factors in treatment outcomes. Even at entry to treatment, some measures were found to be related to how the client later performed during treatment. Finally, it was also found that the particular area of professional specialty of the staff making client diagnosis at intake and preparing treatment plans was associated with client outcomes.

Examining Concurrent Validity and Predictive Utility for the Addiction Severity Index and Texas Christian University (TCU) Short Forms

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation (2012)

Jennifer Pankow D. Dwayne Simpson George W. Joe Grace A. Rowan‐Szal Kevin Knight

Treatment providers need tools which are designed to identify risk, treatment needs, and monitor client engagement. These are essential components in substance abuse treatment for offender populations. This study evaluated a flexible set of 1-page modular assessments known as the TCU Short Forms and compared them with the measures of global domains contained in the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). The sample was based on 540 adult males and females in corrections-based substance abuse treatment services located in Arkansas and Missouri. Results suggest the set of TCU forms and ASI both reliably represent core clinical domains, but TCU Short Forms explained more variance in therapeutic engagement criteria measured during treatment. Similarities and differences of the assessment tools are discussed, along with applications.

Further Comments on the Internal Correlation: A Rejoinder

Journal of Educational Statistics (1989)

George W. Joe Jorge L. Mendoza

Several issues were raised by Professors Rozeboom (1989), Schuenemeyer (1989), and Bargmann (1989) in their reviews of our paper, Internal Correlation: Its Applications in Statistics and Psychometrics (Joe & Mendoza, 1989). We discuss these issues with the prospect of shedding additional light on them. The first issue Rozeboom addresses is the number of internal correlations. He correctly identifies the maximal internal correlation and the other submaximal internal correlations we identified as a

The Role of Node-Link Mapping in Individual and Group Counseling

The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (1994)

Kevin Knight Donald F. Dansereau George W. Joe D. Dwayne Simpson

The value of using a visual representation strategy, called node-linking mapping, was evaluated in individual and group drug abuse counseling settings. Methadone maintenance clients were randomly assigned to counselors trained to use mapping techniques (n = 57), and those who used standard counseling (n = 51). Clients in the mapping counseling group had more favorable perceptions of their own therapeutic engagement and progress as indicated by ratings of cognitive-behavioral and motivational attributes than did those in standard counseling. Overall, individual sessions were viewed by clients as being more valuable man group counseling, but the use of mapping increased the helpfulness attributed to group counseling to near the same level as individual counseling.

Psychological Problems and Client Engagement in Methadone Treatment

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1995)

George W. Joe Barry S. Brown D. Dwayne Simpson

Client attendance at individual counseling sessions in community-based methadone treatment programs was more frequent among clients with self-reported psychological problems at intake. These problems included anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and other symptoms suggesting psychopathology (hallucinations, difficulty controlling violence, etc.). The sample consisted of 462 clients in treatment at least 90 days, divided into two groups of no psychological problems reported at intake (no problems group, N = 341) and two or more problems reported (high problems group, N = 121). The high problems group was twice as likely to attend the treatment program's recommended minimum number of individual counseling sessions (two per month) than was the no problems group, and was more likely to discuss psychological issues in their individual counseling sessions. The high problems group showed significant decreases in drug use and illegal activity in the first 3 months after admission and did not differ significantly from the no problems group on drug-positive urines or illicit activity at month 3. Within the high problems group, clients who attended at least two individual sessions per month reported less cocaine and speedball use during treatment than those who attended fewer sessions. —J Nerv Ment Dis 183:704–710, 1995
