The Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment has recently published a Special Issue of its journal on “Technology-based Interventions for the Treatment and Recovery Management of Substance Use Disorders”. This Special Issue was Co-edited by CTBH Director, Lisa A. Marsch, PhD, CTBH Advisory Board Member, Kathleen Carroll, PhD and colleague Brian Kiluk, PhD.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment (Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2014) highlights the diversity and current state of the science of empirically-supported innovations in technology-based interventions targeting addiction treatment and recovery management. Articles range from experimental evaluations of a variety of types of technology-based interventions (brief interventions, behavior therapy, medication adherence tools, and HIV prevention interventions) and technology platforms (mobile, Web, videoconferencing, and telephone-based interactive voice response), for an array of populations (adults, adolescents, criminal justice populations, and post-partum women), in a number of different settings (addiction specialty treatment programs, schools, emergency rooms, and criminal justice settings). They additionally reflect a variety of experimental research designs, including those focused on the design, development, and clinical evaluation of these technology-based therapeutic tools, as well as research focused on models for their successful implementation and sustained use.
