Validating an Autonomous Interactive Internet-Based Delivery of an Empirically Supported Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Comorbidity

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This project is designed to determine if a computer-delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment can improve the otherwise poor alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes for individuals with a co-occurring anxiety disorder. In the past, the investigators showed that this treatment does improve outcomes for these individuals when delivered by a therapist. If the present work shows that the computer-delivered version is also effective, it would provide an inexpensive program with virtually unlimited scalability to enable access to the treatment by many more individuals than is currently the case.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for people in residential addiction treatment who also have anxiety disorders. Many people with alcohol dependence also suffer from conditions like panic disorder, generalized anxiety, or social anxiety — and treating both at the same time may improve recovery outcomes. The CBT program is delivered online, without needing a therapist present. **You may be eligible if...** - You are currently in a residential addiction treatment program (specifically the Lodging Plus program) primarily for alcohol dependence - You have been diagnosed in the past 30 days with panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or social anxiety disorder - You have at least an 8th-grade reading level in English - You have enough time remaining in your residential program to complete the study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a cognitive or medical condition that prevents you from participating - You are considered a serious suicide risk - You are in court-ordered treatment - You have participated in a previous version of this study during a prior stay in the program Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALNegative Emotions and Addiction Tools Program (NEAT)- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The program provides simplified clinical, learning and neuroscience-based education about the vicious cycle in which negative affect serves to motivate drinking, which, in turn, worsens negative affect. Participants also learn how each of three skills (breathing control, cognitive restructuring, problem solving) was designed to disrupt a specific element of the vicious cycle that includes physiological, psychological and behavioral processes.

BEHAVIORALProgressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT)

PMRT is a standard stress management coping skill that entails tensing and releasing specified muscle groups to obtain deep muscle relaxation.
