Implementation of TBI-RECOVER in Substance Use Treatment

The TBI-RECOVER intervention model consists of three components: 1) a web-based brain injury and cognitive impairment screener using the Online Brain Injury Screening and Support System (OBISSS) of the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators, 2) brief education and information on traumatic brain injury and substance use disorders, and 3) neurocognitive accommodations, or compensatory strategies, for neurological impairment.

The control condition includes a brief information and educational sheet on traumatic brain injury and substance use disorder, how these two conditions are connected with each other, and a list of suggested accommodations they can use in treatment.
