NCT ID NCT04127604
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested a special support program for veterans with both bipolar disorder and substance use problems after they leave the hospital. Half of the 138 participants received the program, while the other half got enhanced safety monitoring. The goal was to see if the program helps them stick to their medications and avoid relapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Integrated Treatment Adherence Program for Veterans (ITAP-VA) - a psychosocial support program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could help veterans with bipolar disorder and substance use stay on their medications and avoid relapse after a hospital stay.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 138 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
