Summary

This study tests a digital program called RITch®CBT that uses an avatar to guide men through cognitive behavioral therapy for addiction. The goal is to reduce cravings and substance use while also addressing relationship conflict. Forty men entering addiction treatment will use the program at home and be compared to those receiving standard in-person therapy.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants between the ages of 18-65 will be 40 men entering outpatient treatment who (1) meet current DSM-V criteria substance dependence (and use alcohol and/or stimulants within the 30 days prior to the screening session); (2) report verbal aggression, conflict/aggression in a current intimate relationship (e.g., yelling, screaming, pushing, slapping) within 30 days prior to screening; and (3) can read English at a 6th grade level. Exclusion Criteria: Participants will be excluded if they: 1) Are currently in withdrawal from substance and in need of detoxification (such individuals may be re-evaluated following detoxification); 2) Have cognitive impairment (a mini mental state score \<25); 3) Have psychomotor epilepsy (e.g. impulsivity or rage related symptoms secondary to a seizure disorder, as this medical diagnosis is likely to be a confound in the proposed study); 4) Have major medical complications such as a head injury/trauma, or HIV dementia that may also be a confound in the study interventions; 5) Are currently receiving either substance abuse or IPV treatment elsewhere; 6.) Have a lifetime history of any psychotic or bipolar disorder; or 7) Are currently suicidal or homicidal or 8) severe violence (punching, chocking, use of weapons).
