Job-Seekers Training for Patients
with Drug Dependence (CTN 0020)
Drug abuse clients who are employed typically do better in their
treatment than those who are unemployed. In addition, unemployment
is a chronic problem in drug-dependent people. Despite the high rates
of unemployment in this population, community treatment programs often
do not have the resources to provide vocational services. This study
will examine the effectiveness of a 12-hour basic job-training program
designed to give patients the skills they need to find and secure
a job and set vocational goals and methods for locating employment.
The intervention to be evaluated is modeled after the Job Seekers
Workshop, which was manualized and has been tested in trials.
