Official title
Adapting a Brief Dyadic Intervention for Co-occurring Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment for Veterans is challenging for Veterans. Veterans often benefit from social support from friends and loved ones while in treatment; however, the symptoms of PTSD and AUD often are associated with increased relationship conflict. It is essential to identify new ways to improve PTSD-AUD treatment, and involving loved ones in the process may be a way to improve treatment. The purpose of this study is to pilot test a brief couples intervention that is designed to be delivered while Veterans are in treatment for PTSD-AUD. Over the course of 12 weeks, Veterans will receive individual treatment through Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders with Prolonged Exposure (COPE), and Veterans and their romantic partners will attend 3-4 sessions of Brief Family Involved Treatment (B-FIT) which has been modified specifically for Veterans with PTSD-AUD. Veterans and their romantic partners will complete a baseline visit, 12 weeks of weekly measures, and a 3-month follow-up visit. This is a stage 1a one-armed non-randomized pilot trial.
