Treatment Provider Perceptions and Utilization of a PC-based Brief Motivational Intervention for Problem Drinkers: Implications for Disseminationemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The use of personal computers and software programs as clinical aids for intervening with various health issues is increasing. This project evaluated the perceived attributes, utilization, and adoption of an automated computer-based software program for problem drinkers by 22 treatment providers across 10 predominantly state-funded, outpatient addiction treatment agencies in New Mexico. Results demonstrated that treatment provider ratings, utilization, and adoption of the program were modest, despite initial enthusiasm on the part of agency directors regarding the program.

This study investigates the phenomenon of cocaine craving in adolescents. Method: Subjects were adolescents aged 14 to 17 years who had abused cocaine and were attending the 6-week adolescent inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program for the South Carolina Department of Mental Health.

Forgiveness and Alcohol Use: Applying a Specific Spiritual Principle to Substance Abuse Problemsemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Religion and spirituality can have a salutary effect on substance use disorders. However, little is known regarding the effects of specific manifestations of religiosity and spirituality. Forgiveness, decreasing negative responses to offense irrespective of interaction with the offender, has been argued to be highly relevant to problematic substance use. Although the process of forgiveness is conceptually found in empirically validated forms of treatment for alcohol problems, little quantitative evidence exists to verify and illuminate the relationships between forgiveness and substance abuse. Empirical invest...
