Clinical Monitoring to Facilitate Continuous Care for Substance Abusing Clients

Counselors in this condition will be trained on the RecoveryTrack-Extended Care (RT-E) web-based monitoring system so that they are able to navigate the computer application, and implement the clinical content and procedures of the intervention. Counselors will conduct monitoring and feedback sessions using RT-E for clients newly admitted to IOP over a course of eight months. If the client is not attending treatment, counselors will attempt contact over the phone and via other methods. When contacted, the counselor will conduct the RT-E assessment and, as the situation warrants, provide support to reengage the client in treatment or support recovery in other ways mentioned. HIV risk will be assessed as well, with encouragement of testing and referral to HIV specialists as needed.
