A case study on developing a technology-based substance abuse education curriculum

Article Abstract:

The Doubles, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is a seven-episode series of media tools designed to teach third and fourth grade students about the science of drug addiction. The process used to develop the Doubles is examined and it is argued that its success stems from the careful balancing of the needs of the funding agency, state and national curricular guidelines, and the target audience.

An exploration of the effect of on-site 12-step meetings on post-treatment outcomes among polysubstance-dependent outpatient clients

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the role of the presence and absence of on-site 12-step meetings during treatment on post-treatment outcomes of substance use. A sample of 219 polysubstance-dependent clients was used for the study, and was followed for one year of post-treatment. Results show that holding on-site 12-step meetings could help in promoting post-treatment remission maintenance.
