Implementation of TBI-RECOVER in Substance Use Treatment

Facilitation as a Strategy for Implementing the Novel TBI-RECOVER Intervention Into Substance Use Treatment: A Mixed Methods Hybrid Type 2 Effectiveness-Implementation Trial

The goal of this hybrid type 2 pilot trial is to understand the implementation and effectiveness of the TBI-RECOVER intervention model (e.g., brain injury screening, cognitive and behavioral challenges screening, and neurocognitive accommodations) on patient retention in outpatient substance use disorder treatment. We will evaluate whether an implementation strategy bundle (e.g., training/education, champions, audit & feedback, facilitation) improves provider use and sustainability of the TBI-RECOVER intervention, and also whether the TBI-RECOVER intervention improves patient symptoms and treatment retention.
