Seeking Safety, a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy\r\ntreatment, is a psychosocial treatment for women with comorbid PTSD\r\nand SUD and, at the time this study was conducted, it was the\r\ntreatment with the most efficacy data for this population. SS\r\ntreatment appears to be a promising intervention for incarcerated\r\nwomen with PTSD and SUD because (1) the treatment targets many of the\r\ndeficits found in this population that may interfere with their\r\nrecovery and place these women at risk for reoffending (such as\r\nimpulsiveness, anger dyscontrol, and maladaptive lifestyle\r\nactivities), and (2) it teaches skills to manage these problematic\r\nbehaviors. This study aimed to conduct an open feasibility trial of\r\nSeeking Safety treatment in a sample of six incarcerated women with\r\nSUD and PTSD and to conduct a randomized controlled pilot study to\r\nevaluate the initial efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of the\r\nproposed treatment as an adjunct to treatment as usual (TAU), compared\r\nto a TAU control group in a sample of 22 incarcerated women with\r\ncomorbid PTSD and SUD. The primary hypothesis was that, compared to\r\nthe TAU condition, women in the SS treatment condition would have less\r\nsevere drug and alcohol use as well as fewer PTSD symptoms and legal\r\nproblems after intervention, and at six weeks and three months after\r\nrelease. The first six participants recruited for the study received\r\nSS group treatment as an adjunct to the treatment provided by the\r\nDiscovery Program, the substance abuse treatment program in the\r\nminimum security arm of the Women's Facility of the Adult Correctional\r\nInstitution in Providence, Rhode Island. The remaining participants\r\nwere randomly assigned to either the control group (TAU) or to a group\r\nthat received SS treatment as an adjunct to TAU. The treatment groups\r\nwere conducted by clinicians who worked as substance abuse therapists\r\nin the Discovery Program and a clinical psychologist from Brown\r\nUniversity. All SS therapists received training in delivering SS\r\ntherapy from Dr. Lisa Najavits, who developed SS\r\ntreatment. Assessments were conducted at pretreatment, post-treatment\r\nduring incarceration, and three and six months postrelease for\r\nPTSD-related measures. Measures of severity of substance abuse and\r\nlegal problems were taken at pretreatment, as well as at the six- and\r\n12-week postrelease intervals. Measures were taken with a variety of\r\nclinical instruments, including the Addiction Severity Index (ASI),\r\nthe Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) module on\r\nsubstance use, the Clinician Administered Post-Traumatic Stress\r\nDisorder Scale-I (CAPS-I), the Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ), the\r\nHelping Alliance Questionnaire-II (HAQ-II), the Client Satisfaction\r\nQuestionnaire, and the End-of-Treatment Questionnaire. Basic\r\ndemographic data were also collected from administrative\r\nrecords. Variables include alcohol, drug, and legal composite scores\r\nat pretreatment and post-treatment, number of relapses, whether the\r\nwoman returned to prison, whether the woman lied about substance\r\nabuse, use of particular substances one month prior to prison and\r\nduring lifetime, PTSD indicators of frequency and intensity, total\r\nclient satisfaction scores, patients' ratings of therapists and\r\ntreatment, and trauma scales for crime, sexual abuse, and physical\r\nabuse. Demographic variables include age, ethnic background,\r\neducation, first time in prison, the nature of the current conviction,\r\nand number of arrests with convictions.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03416.v1", "title": "Treatment of Incarcerated Women with Substance Use Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Providence, Rhode Island, 1999-2001"}], "identifier": "3587", "issued": "2002-11-27T00:00:00", "keyword": ["addiction", "alcohol abuse", "anger", "female inmates", "imprisonment", "post-traumatic stress disorder", "substance abuse", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Treatment of Incarcerated Women with Substance Use Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Providence, Rhode Island, 1999-2001"}
