Web-based treatment for addiction-CBT4CBT

What is it about?

Its hard to find high quality, evidence-based care for drug and alcohol dependence. We compared our web-based approach to the standard approach--group therapy--and the 'gold standard' of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered by experienced, highly trained clinicians. The web based treatment was more effective than group therapy in reducing drug use, and its effects lasted longer (up to 6 months) than group therapy or CBT. The participants were also more satisfied and learned more new skills in the web-based approach.

Why is it important?

Its very difficult for most people with drug or alcohol problems to get access to evidence-based care; this web-based approach is a cost-effective alternative.
