Effectiveness of an Enhanced Adaptive Continuing Care Model for Cocaine Dependence
The purpose of this challenge grant is to conduct an initial test of a new, enhanced version
of this protocol (telephone monitoring and counseling - enhanced, or TMAC-E), which has been
modified to include the elements of our existing continuing care intervention plus
patient-centered changes to boost patient involvement and community linkages. The
investigators will recruit 150 cocaine dependent patients in publicly funded,
community-based programs and randomize them to treatment as usual or the TMAC-E and follow
them for 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria:
- (1) qualify for a DSM-IV diagnosis of cocaine dependence, with some cocaine use in
the prior 6 months;
- (2) be 18 to 75 years of age;
- (3) have no current psychotic disorder or evidence of dementia severe enough to
prevent participation in outpatient treatment;
- (4) have no acute medical problem requiring immediate inpatient treatment;
- (5) not be in methadone or other modes of Drug and Alcohol treatment, other than
Intensive Outpatient Program;
- (6) be willing to be randomized and participate in research;
- (7) because of study follow-up requirements, subjects will be able to provide the
name, verified telephone number, and address of at least one contact who can provide
locator information on the patient during follow-up. We will include patients with
dependence on other substances, provided that they are cocaine dependent and meet
other inclusion criteria.
Exclusion Criteria:
- have a current psychotic disorder or evidence of dementia severe enough to prevent
participation in outpatient treatment;
- have acute medical problem requiring immediate inpatient treatment;
- are in methadone or other modes of DA treatment, other than IOP;
- or cannot provide names of people who can get messages to them for follow up, in the
event we cannot locate the participant at their original address and number. Also, if
they are court mandated to treatment or otherwise considered a prisoner, they will be
ineligible for the study as we have not applied for Subpart C approval.
