Achieving Drug and Alcohol Abstinence Among Recently Incarcerated Homeless Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-Case Management With a Health Promotion Program: Results

•At a 6-month follow-up visit, 65.5% (38/58) of DBT participants and 48.3% (28/58) of HP participants were abstinent for drug use, based on urine tests. Drug abstinence increased at 6-month follow-up in both groups compared to the baseline.

•However, the magnitude of the increase in drug use abstinence was greater in the DBT-CM group compared to the HP group.

•Additionally, participants in the DBT group were more likely to become or remain alcohol-abstinent during the study period; the HP group did not change.

•Being non-White and having higher depressive symptom scores were associated with lower odds of drug use abstinence at 6 months.
