Brief Summary

This research is being done to study whether using an Internet-based program, called the Therapeutic Education System (TES), would be helpful for the treatment of substance use and other psychiatric problems.

Conditions

Alcoholism; Substance-related Disorders; Mentally Ill Chemical Abuse; Educational Technology

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Acceptability of Treatment Based on Survey Questionnaire Completed by Participants

  The acceptability assessment asks about hospital satisfaction for both groups. The questionnaire is a series of questions on Qualtrics on a scale of 0-10. Higher scores signified a more positive response and a better outcome.

  prior to discharge from the hospital up to 30 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Number of Participants Enrolled in Post-discharge Substance Abuse Treatment Appointments 30 Days After Hospital Discharge

  30 days after discharge from the hospital

• Number of Participants Enrolled in Post-discharge Treatment for Other Mental Health Appointments 30 Days After Hospital Discharge

  30 days after discharge from the hospital

Study Arms (2)

Therapeutic Education System (TES)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will have the opportunity to use the TES program while hospitalized, at specific, monitored times, and can also use it when discharged by using participant's specific login information. Participants can use it as much or as little as participants like. Participants will continue with treatment as usual during and after hospitalization, as well.

Device: Therapeutic Education System (TES)

Treatment as Usual (TAU)

OTHER

Standard treatment comprises a psychiatrist-led interdisciplinary team as well as face-to-face group counseling for substance use and skills for improving general mental health. There will be no change to the routine care (treatment at usual \[TAU\]) provided to patients on the service.

Other: Treatment as Usual (TAU)

Interventions

Therapeutic Education System (TES) DEVICE

The TES program is made of modules about ways to prevent substance use, such as how to refuse drugs and alcohol, how to cope with thoughts about using, and how to make the best possible decisions for a person's mental health. Each module takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Modules may contain videos or other interactive media. At the end of each module, there are questions about the material.
