An integrated substance use treatment model for young adults with first‐episode psychosis: A naturalistic pilot evaluation

“…This study expanded upon NAVIGATE by providing additional substance use treatment. This integrated substance use intervention includes components of MI, CBT, and relapse prevention skills acquisition (Penn et al, 2014; Roberts et al, 1999; Rosengren, 2009; Skinner, 2005; Velasquez et al, 2016). To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating an integrated treatment model for MI and skills intervention for SUDs within an FEP outpatient program.…”
