Randomized clinical trial comparing a money management-based intervention involving storage
and management of client funds, substance abuse counseling, and risk reduction counseling to
individualized drug counseling.

referred to in DSM IV-TR will be the CIWA-AR (Sullivan et al., 1989) and the Clinical

withdrawal

incarceration or move
