Conditions: Heroin Dependence - Opiate Dependence - Substance Dependence
Purpose: The planned research will adapt an intervention of known efficacy to target a new outcome of significant importance to public health.

The research plan includes three phases: 1) development of a manual guided therapy, 2) development of therapist training and fidelity measures and 3) a randomized pilot evaluation with 52 patients receiving either the new CRAFT treatment or treatment as usual.
