We review treatment studies for comorbid substance use disorder (SUD) and posttraumatic stressdisorder (PTSD). Results show positive outcomes on multiple domains. Most models had more effecton PTSD than SUD, suggesting SUD is harder to treat. Seeking Safety (SS) is the most studied model.It shows positive outcomes, and is the only treatment outperforming a control on both PTSD andSUD. Partial-dose SS had more mixed results than the full dose. This first-generation of PTSD/SUD re-search addresses complex samples excluded from “gold standard” PTSD-alone literature. Treatmentsfor PTSD/SUD are generally longer than PTSD-alone treatments and present-focused, emphasizingstabilization and coping. The few models with past-focused (exposure-based) components also incor-porated present-focused approaches for these vulnerable clients. We discuss public health perspectivesto advance the field.

Complex trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder (SUD) arelike parts of a prism—different lenses from which to see into clients’ often-tragic past. Thoughthey may have formal diagnostic representations that lead us to view them as separate entities,they are highly related in the day-to-day experience of clients’ lives. Yet it is only quite recentlythat attention has been directed toward linkages between these domains. Splits between mentalhealth and SUD treatment are well known, as is the fact that most clinicians never receive formaltraining in both. Clients have been left to try to integrate what our field historically has not.

Thus, it is heartening that the past several years have seen the emergence of new therapiesto address comorbidity and research to evaluate those therapies. This article is an attempt tosummarize where we are at this point: What models have been developed and tested? Whatthemes can we draw from the research on them? What next new directions are needed?

A major aspect that we hope to portray is that the data have many “stories to tell.” Withinthe framework of empirical studies, different details and ideas can be brought out. Our goal isto address topics that are meaningful to both clinicians and researchers. For example, for eachstudy we list how many hours of treatment were delivered, how the sample addressed complextrauma, the rate of minority representation, the types of clients who were excluded from thestudies (which is just as important as who was included), whether the clinicians conducting themodel were native to the setting (which bodes for stronger replication), and whether any negativeoutcomes occurred. We also apply uniform descriptors across studies so that one can comparea consistent set of standards across studies. Because of space limitations, a more detailed, fullyacademic version of this article is available from the first author, which provides a complete reference

section, footnotes to explain technical points, and identification of methodological and statisticalissues in studies.

Method

This review includes all studies that address (a) a PTSD/SUD treatment model (one designed forthe comorbidity) or (b) a PTSD/SUD population, even if the treatment model was not designedfor the comorbidity. Exclusion criteria for studies are as follows: if they did not attempt to treatboth disorders and instead offer a posthoc analysis of their outcomes (e.g., Rotunda, O’Farrell,Murphy & Babey, 2008); had no SUD outcome (e.g., Bragdon & Lombardo, 2012); are solelya case study (Batten & Hayes, 2005) or case series without aggregated data (e.g., Berenz, Rowe,Schumacher, Stasiewicz & Coffey, 2012); are prevention rather than treatment (e.g., Danielsen,McCart, Walsh, de Arellano, White & Resnick, 2012; Zatzick et al., 2004); use a nonmanualizedtreatment (Steindl, Young, Creamer & Compton, 2003); evaluate a multicomponent intensivetreatment program rather than primarily a manualized model per se (Donovan, Padin-Rivera &Kowaliw, 2001); or take a model that has been studied for PTSD/SUD but is being applied toa sample that does not have SUD (e.g., Ford, Steinberg & Zhang, 2011).

In sum, our focus is on comprehensively summarizing the PTSD/SUD comorbidity treatmentliterature. Studies were obtained through existing literature reviews, online searches, referencelists of articles, and colleagues. Throughout, we use the term “PTSD” to broadly refer to thefull range of trauma-related symptoms, and SUD to refer to the full spectrum of both substanceabuse and dependence, unless otherwise indicated.

However, there are also topics we do not address, such as level of treatment attendance.Attendance is defined inconsistently in studies, sometimes with no clear denominator (howmany sessions were available to clients), sometimes reported only for those attending a certainamount of the study treatment, and sometimes not reported. Similarly, we do not report effectsizes, which are a metric of how much change occurred on an outcome. Many studies do notreport effect sizes or use different statistical methods for them, so they are beyond the scopeof this article. Finally, the treatment models themselves are not described, but that informationcan be obtained online or through the reference list from the first author. Regarding statistics,results are reported only for the standard .05 significance level (no trends). Finally, there werea few instances where, either for accuracy or to make equivalent comparisons across studies, aresult reported in Table 2 (see Appendix) may differ from that in the paper on the publishedstudy. Such discrepancies are documented in detail in the full academic version of this paperavailable from the first author.

Results

A description of each study (see Table 1 in Appendix) is organized by treatment model, and Table2 provides results of each study in relation to PTSD, SUD, and other outcomes. In a narrativesense, Table 1 represents “before and during” treatment and Table 2 is “after.” Several majorthemes are identified below that apply across studies, followed by a section related to specificmodels.

Key Themes

All of the Studies Address Complex Trauma/PTSD

The studies did not use a definition of complex trauma or complex PTSD as an inclusionarycriterion (identifier of who is to be included in the study), as there is as yet no formal definitionof these terms. Yet each study in fact did address a complex trauma/PTSD sample. Table 1,columns C, D, and E, indicate how each study relates to complex trauma/PTSD, in any or allof the following ways.

A multiply-traumatized sample and the presence of current trauma-related symptoms. Symptomswere in the form of PTSD (full or subthreshold), elevated trauma symptoms, or a positive screenfor major trauma history and/or symptoms. Most studies used well-validated assessments toidentify these.

Review of Treatments 435

Comorbidity. To be included in this review, each study had to include comorbidity inthe form of a SUD sample, which was either defined through formal assessment of SUD orby virtue of being in a SUD treatment setting. The SUD in these studies was generally severe(usually dependence, not just abuse), chronic, often involved multiple substances, and includedboth alcohol and drugs (the latter being typically harder to treat). Further, although the studiesin this review do not provide a full diagnostic picture, any studies that did assess for additionaldiagnoses or symptoms found notable rates of them, such as major depression, Axis II disorders,or severe and persistent mental illness.

Childhood-based and/or repeated trauma. The clients in these studies often hadchildhood-based sexual and/or physical trauma, typically repeated, and interpersonally-based.

Multiple life burdens. A defining characteristic of complex trauma populations is thepresence of multiple life problems, in addition to formally diagnosed disorders. In these studies,per column D, these were clearly multiply-burdened samples, including homelessness, unemploy-ment, criminal justice involvement, multiple prior treatment episodes, low education, domesticviolence, suicidality, and violence.

Just reading some of the descriptors of these samples in Table 1 (column D) is heart-wrenching:“All had childhood-based PTSD; average of near-daily substance use; most had active suici-dal ideation and/or plan; all had substance dependence, primarily drug rather than alcohol”(Najavits, Schmitz, Gotthardt & Weiss, 2005); “Most were violent offenders with serious mentalillness, including bipolar/psychotic; child sexual abuse; average of 15 life stressors; in minimum,medium, or maximum security” (Wolff, Frueh, Shi, & Schumann, 2012); “Primarily unmarriedmothers, 35% with parental rights terminated by legal system, due primarily to SUD; 69% hadproblems with multiple substances, and substantial percentage used substance(s) daily; 77% hadprior SUD treatment; 35% had major depression, 19% bipolar I or II” (Young et al., 2004).

Minimal exclusionary criteria. The studies generally have low or at most moderateexclusions (see Table 1, column E), in contrast to the relatively high level of exclusions in theliterature on PTSD-alone (Bradley, Greene, Russ, Dutra, & Westen, 2005). Moreover, whenmajor exclusions are present, they are usually due to the study requiring a high level of care forthese vulnerable clients (studies #10, 22, 25, 33).

Finally, all but one of the treatment models themselves were explicitly designed for com-plex trauma/PTSD in terms of the above-mentioned characteristics: Concurrent Treatmentof PTSD and Cocaine Dependence (CTPTCD), later named Concurrent Prolonged Exposure(COPE); Creating Change (CC); Helping Women Recover/Beyond Trauma (HWR/BT); Inte-grated CBT for PTSD and SUD (ICBT); Seeking Safety (SS); Substance Dependence PTSDTherapy (SDPT); Trauma Adaptive Recovery Group Education and Therapy (TARGET); andTrauma Recovery Empowerment Model (TREM). All of these models were conceptualized fromthe start to address the multiple comorbidities and life problems of PTSD/SUD or complextrauma clients. In contrast, one additional model, Exposure Therapy plus SUD coping skillstreatment (EXP), used a PTSD-alone model in a PTSD/SUD sample.

The Studies’ Clinical Implementation Speaks to the Needs of the Population

There is much to be gleaned from Table 1, column B. For example, although the current researchculture focuses on short-term treatment models, notice how long the treatments were in thesestudies. They are wide-ranging but often were delivered in about 30–40 hours and sometimesquite a lot more. The study treatments were also added on to what were often quite high levelsof care (See Table 1, column C).

Column B also shows that the majority of studies used a group rather than individual modality,and within the group studies many used open rather than closed groups. Finally, many of thestudies used frontline clinicians who were native to the setting, often without advanced degreesor high levels of formal training. One study (#22) used a creative method of training its clinicians,

436 Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session, May 2013

who were in recovery themselves, by having them go through the model as participants prior toleading sessions. Another study used peer-led treatment (#9).

In sum, Column B provides a window into the needs of frontline settings that work with thesehighly complex populations. Aspects such as the number of hours of treatment, the use of groupover individual modality, and the use of a less highly trained workforce speak to the realities ofthese environments, where a good deal of complex trauma treatment is delivered. This picture isalso discrepant from many PTSD-alone treatment trials. (We are using the term “PTSD-alone”to differentiate the standard PTSD treatment literature from this review on comorbid PTSD-SUD.) Overall, the PTSD-alone literature has focused more on efficacy rather than effectivenessstudies. The former represents more pure academic research designed to have stricter control andmore rigorous scientific standards; the latter addresses real-world outcomes in regular practice.For example, PTSD-alone studies have focused largely on individual rather than group therapies;closed groups if they do use group modality; clinicians who are costly (highly trained, often withadvanced degrees, and receiving many hours of consultation and training as part of the studies;Karlin et al., 2010).

PTSD-alone studies have also consistently excluded more vulnerable populations such asthose who have problems with homelessness, domestic violence, suicidality, violence, seriousand persistent mental illness, and SUD (particularly substance dependence and drug disordersrather than alcohol). The PTSD treatment field does produce positive outcomes with short-termmodels of 12–20 sessions (Institute of Medicine, 2007), but not generally on these types of highlycomplex clients. And, even with its successes, it is also true that a substantial subset of clientsremains symptomatic, and go through repeated episodes of these and other treatments.

All Studies Using a Past-Focused (Exposure) Approach Combined it With aPresent-Focused (Coping) Approach

A major current discussion in the field is the relative merit of present-focused versus past-focusedapproaches to PTSD treatment. Broadly speaking, models that focus on exposure-based or otheremotionally intense exploration of the trauma narrative are termed here past-focused, in contrastto models that focus on current coping skills and psychoeducation, which are present-focused(Najavits, 2013).

A note on terms: The term trauma-focused is sometimes used to refer to exposure-basedmodels. However, we view that as a misnomer as all present-focused PTSD models, includingthose covered in this review, directly and strongly “focus on trauma.” The difference is how theyapproach it. Exposure-based models focus primarily on the past by exploring trauma memoriesand associated feelings, thoughts, and body sensations. Present-focused PTSD models explicitlyomit detailed exploration of the past, typically in the service of helping stabilize the client,and instead focus primarily on coping skills and psychoeducation. We observe too that theterm “nontrauma-focused treatment” to refer to these present-focused PTSD models is alsoproblematic as it labels them solely by what they are not; it is equivalent to referring to womenas “non-men” or children as “non-adults.” Present-focused approaches have a rich content ofcoping skills and psychoeducation that is better captured by a meaningful label.

Terminology aside, in recent years, there has been growing interest in applying past-focusedPTSD models to SUD, which historically was always viewed as outside the purview of suchmodels. The phrase, “get clean and sober first, and then work on PTSD” was the predominantmessage for most of the 20th century (Najavits, 2002). In part, this perspective was based ondocumented cases (Pittman et al., 1990) and other reports of increased substance use or otheriatrogenesis from trying to move clients into emotionally intense trauma narratives before theywere stable enough to tolerate it, sometimes called “opening Pandora’s box” (Hien, Litt, Cohen,Miele & Campbell, 2009). It has also been based on differences in workforce, culture, resources,and modality of treatment in mental health versus SUD treatment settings (Najavits, 2013).The stage-based approach to PTSD treatment, in which present-focused stabilization occursfirst before moving into past-focused exposure, has been an important historical framework(Herman, 1992), and remains one that is still widely endorsed by PTSD experts (Cloitre, Courtois,Charuvasta, Carapezza, Stolbach & Green, 2011).

Review of Treatments 437

However, in recent years there has been a new development of trying to evaluate whetherpast-focused approaches can be used safely with complex PTSD/SUD populations. (To see theshift in enthusiasm for applying past-focused models to PTSD/SUD, compare, for exampleFoa, 2000, to Riggs and Foa, 2008). Six studies in this review have attempted this, using fourdifferent models: CTPCD (#30), later reworked as COPE (#34); Exposure (EXP; #33); SS-plus-Exposure-Therapy-Revised (#31), later reworked as CC (#35); and SDTP (#32). Severalimportant lessons can be gleaned from these studies, albeit based on an early stage of literatureat this point. First, it is possible to use exposure-based models with these complex clientswhen using the modifications used in these studies. The latter is emphasized because all six studiesmarkedly changed classic exposure for PTSD. Two models, COPE and SDTP, took the approachof combining an existing empirically validated model already developed for PTSD (such as PE)and SUD (such as relapse prevention). Another, CC, was developed as a companion to present-focused SS, and has extensive preparation and decision-making tools for deciding whether aclient is ready for exposure, as well as broadening exposure to a gentler version. Finally, the EXPstudy required all clients to be in highly intensive SUD treatment and to verify abstinence priorto starting. That study was primarily a laboratory experiment rather than a treatment trial, butdoes report outcome results and so is included.

With such extensive modification to classic exposure, all six studies found some positive out-comes and no notably negative outcomes, which is an important take-home message. However,two of the three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted thus far (SDTP and COPE)did not outperform standard SUD treatment to any notable degree. In the SDTP study (#32)there was no difference between it and 12-Step Facilitation therapy on any outcome. And COPE(#34) did not outperform the control (SUD treatment-as-usual) on any substance use variablein the study at any timepoint, and only outperformed on PTSD at 9-month follow-up, not atthe end of treatment point for COPE (Najavits, 2012). The EXP study (#33) did outperformthe control, but only on PTSD (SUD and other variables were not reported), and only in thecontext of mandatory SUD treatment and major exclusions for complex clients (see Table 1,column E).

Finally, Table 1 indicates that all six studies that included a past-focused component weredelivered in individual modality rather than group, and most tended to restrict to a morenarrow sample than the present-focused studies, in keeping with the PTSD-alone literature.It is also evident that the CTPCD and EXP (#30, 33) studies only report outcomes on aminority of their sample, and SDTP is unclear on the percentage it reported on (see Table 2,column A).

The Studies Have Variable Methodological Rigor and Clearly More Research is Needed

Also evident from the tables is that the mantra of research—“more research is needed”—holdsvery true in this area of work. There are relatively few RCTs compared with pilots and controlledtrials. Moreover, there were some consistent methodological weaknesses in the studies. Thesecan be useful for clinicians to keep in mind when considering adoption of treatments and whenreading outcome articles, as well as for improving future research in this area.

Absence of end-of-treatment outcomes. Per Table 2, a surprising number of studiesreport no data at the end of treatment, but instead only at follow-up points. One study, forexample, has a treatment that ends at 4 months, but there are no outcome data until 12 months(#13). Yet from baseline to end of treatment is the most rigorous timeframe from which tounderstand the effect of a treatment model, and end of treatment to follow-up to understandwhether clients maintained gains. One study collected data at what appears to be the end oftreatment, but did not compare it separately to either baseline or follow-up (#25). There arecertainly interesting questions, from a health services perspective, that can be addressed byfollow-ups months after the study treatment has ended, but the “black box” of the follow-upperiod, during which clients may be receiving all sorts of unknown treatments, makes it lessuseful for understanding how to improve treatment models.

Omission of key information. Also notable was the large amount of missing informa-tion. Published reports typically lacked some of the following details: attendance data and effectsizes (mentioned earlier); whether any negative outcomes occurred; clear reporting on timing(i.e., when the study treatment ended, how much study treatment was delivered); the amountof training and supervision clinicians had to undergo in the study treatment; treatments clientswere engaged in aside from the study treatment; sample sizes at each stage of the researchand in all statistical reporting; and full-intent-to-treat analyses (reporting on all clients whoentered the study, rather than just those who completed treatment as in #22 and #33). And,although not standard at this point, a wish-list for additional information would include uri-nalysis/breathalyzer to verify substance use self-reports, scales to measure complex trauma andintergenerational trauma, treatment satisfaction by both clients and clinicians (the latter is virtu-ally never reported, the cost of the treatment (even in some basic form), the treatment developer’slevel of involvement in the research, and use of only psychometrically valid instruments for keyconstructs. Such details matter, in terms of both being able to interpret the results of studies andalso for later implementation of models in practice.

Questionable aspects. Occasionally, there was some reporting that was puzzling. Someexamples are as follows: A study treatment that had 52% more clients randomized to it thanto the control condition, with no reason given (#25); report of a “decrease in substance use”without adequate data or a statistical test to support that (#22); covarying out a set of variablesthat were not statistically different between treatment conditions at baseline, resulting in positiveoutcomes for the study treatment that otherwise did not exist (#23); mention of a treatmentbeing “superior” to another based on a trend on one variable and no other significant differenceon primary outcomes between study conditions (#26); stating a difference existed at a 6-monthtimepoint that was not there (#28); stating that a study had adequate sample size though itobtained 26% less than was required by the power analysis listed in the paper (#18); reportingfollow-up results when just 13% (#30) or 27% (#14) of the study treatment sample was stillavailable. Thus, one should always read beyond the study abstracts as sometimes they are rosierthan actual verifiable results in the text, and may omit findings that do not put the study treatmentin a positive light.

Yet it is clear that many of the studies were conducted under less than optimal conditions andsome were unfunded, and the teams were sometimes not academics but rather more clinicallyoriented. The remarkable big picture point is that the studies were done on complex populationsthat heretofore have been largely unstudied in the treatment outcome field. Thus, the weaknessesof these studies, as reflected in their methodological and reporting flaws, are noted here so asnot to imply that the literature is further along than it is. Although it is a dramatic improvementover the virtual absence of such studies a decade ago, the hope is that the next decade will seeincreasing rigor.

Summary of Results on Models

About Table 2

Table 2 provides a wealth of information. To better understand results listed there, the followingpoints may be helpful.

The goal of the table is to provide comprehensive data on all models and all variables,addressing both the end of treatment and follow-up results. In other words, do clients improvefrom baseline to end of treatment (columns C, D, E)? And do they improve at follow-up, i.e., atsome timepoint months after the end of the treatment (column F)? Within each of these centralquestions, results are organized into three types of outcomes: (a) trauma/PTSD, (b) SUD, and(c) “other variables,” which refers to all other outcomes studied.

Throughout, results are reported only for psychometrically valid measures. Also, given theearly stage of literature and the often small sample sizes (resulting in statistical lack of power),only significant outcomes are listed.

Page 7: HelpingVulnerablePopulations:AComprehensiveReviewofthe ...sites.bu.edu/sswhrsaseminar/files/2014/01/Helping...search addresses complex samples excluded from “gold standard” PTSD-alone

Review of Treatments 439

All controlled studies and RCTs are, by their design, comparing the study treatment to acontrol such as another treatment or treatment-as-usual. For such studies, results are listed asfollows. If the study treatment outperforms the control, the result is shown in boldface andunderline (regardless of whether the control also improves, as our primary goal is to identifywhether there is any added benefit for the study treatment). If the study treatment does notoutperform the control, and both conditions improve, the result is underlined only. This is usefulbecause it gets away from just the “horse race” results reported in many reviews, which indicateonly whether one treatment outperformed another. From a public health standpoint, a morerelevant question is, “In what ways does the study treatment outperform the control, and inwhat ways do both improve?” Thus, Table 2 is constructed to help the reader see the full bodyof evidence so as to be able to identify overarching patterns.

Column A provides the percentage of the original sample that the investigators sought toreport on in their outcomes. This is important because (as is evident from looking down columnA) some investigators aim to report outcomes for the entire initial sample, which is consideredthe gold standard known as “full intent to treat” reporting. It is the least biased because it asks,“How did everyone do who enrolled in the trial?” Other studies have some smaller proportion,which is also legitimate but addresses a different question, such as in a pilot study where thegoal may be: “How did clients do if they attended at least one session [or four sessions, etc.] ofthe treatment?” In Column A, studies that have less than the full intent to treat (100%) data arelisted by their percentage. In most studies, the majority of participants were reported on. But ina few studies, it is a minority percentage, and thus limits the generalizability of the results. Anystudies with a minority of the original sample being reported on are noted with this symbol toindicate absence of sufficient sample and thus caution needed in interpreting the study results: ♦.

Findings Across Models

The following points become clear when looking across Table 2.

The models generally show positive outcomes. Notice the many “yes” results acrossthe table, each indicating a positive outcome. This is good news because it means that clientsimproved over time when given these manualized models of treatment that were designed totarget their problems. They improved, depending on the study, in many different domainsincluding trauma/PTSD, SUD, and areas such as psychopathology, functioning, cognitions,self-compassion, and coping skills. There were few negative outcomes (worsening over time),and treatment satisfaction was generally strong in studies that addressed it. However, it is alsoimportant to keep in mind the context of these studies. Clients were almost always in additionaltreatments while receiving the study treatment, and those additional treatments were rarelyidentified in terms of amount, type, or quantity. Additional treatments included psychiatricmedication, other psychotherapies, 12-step, intensive partial program, and methadone mainte-nance, for example. Thus, future research is needed to help address the interaction between studytreatments and additional treatments. Also, other questions would be needed for a full under-standing: Are there different subgroups of clients who improve more than others in treatment?How do clinicians differ in delivering the treatment (as therapist factors are one of the mostpowerful influences on outcomes; Najavits & Weiss, 1994)? How much treatment is needed toproduce positive outcomes?

There are some findings for treatments outperforming the control. This is the “horserace” question, asking whether the study treatment did better than what it was being comparedto (the design of all studies in Table 2 listed as “controlled trial” or “RCT”). The table indicatesthat there were various findings for the models outperforming the control, although not always,and not for all models. (Look for the findings that are both in boldface and underlined, notunderlined alone, to locate the ones that did occur). Those that showed any difference were asfollows: SS (#13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21); ICBT (#25); TREM (#27, 29) and BCM/TREM(#28); EXP/SUD (#33); and COPE (#34). A few models showed no significant differences fromthe control (SDPT, TARGET, GRT). Even the models that did show a difference sometimes

only showed it for one variable or scale, so it is important to recognize that at this early stageof work, it is not yet clear what the future holds in terms of range, degree, and sustainability ofchanges produced by any one model.

It is also important to recognize that treatments differed in how long they were delivered(e.g., they varied extensively in number of hours of treatment, per Table 1 and, by implication,likely cost). There are also many other relevant contextual factors (see the paragraph above). Itis also notable that there were no instances of the control outperforming the study treatment.(The only ones reported was for GRT, #23, on one variable and only in the overtime, notbetween-conditions analysis, and for SS, #21, on one secondary analysis variable [alcohol useby stimulant users]). Finally, it is just as important to notice how often both the study treatmentand the control showed improvement, without a difference between them (see all instances inthe table of the underlined, but not boldface, results). This happened quite frequently acrossthe table, indicating that the study treatment was not more helpful than the control on thosevariables.

Overall, then, it is evident that there were some positive findings for some of the studytreatments outperforming the controls. Among the models that did evidence outperforming acontrol, there were also differences in the number and range of findings achieved, per Table 2.And there were also quite a few instances where both the study treatment and the control showedimprovement, with no difference between them.

When there were differences between conditions, they were more on PTSD or othermental health variables, and less often on SUD. This is important as it may indicate thatin these complex comorbid clients, the PTSD and mental health issues may be easier to treator sustain over time than SUD outcomes. That remains a question for future research but doesfit clinicians’ perceptions (Back et al., 2009). It also fits the larger body of work wherein PTSDis typically conceptualized as amenable to short-term treatment and resolution, whereas SUD(dependence in particular) is conceptualized as a chronic relapsing disorder (Arria & McLellan,2012). The pattern seen in Table 2 may also reflect that clients were typically in SUD treatmentswhile in the study treatment. In terms of specific models in Table 2, study treatments that showedthis pattern of outperforming the control on PTSD but not SUD occurred for ICBT (#), BCM(#28), and COPE (#34). The only models in which the study treatment outperformed the controlon SUD were SS (e.g., #16,17, 18) and TREM (#29). The only model thus far that outperformedthe control on both PTSD and SUD was SS (see next section).

SS

We will summarize results on SS here, as it has been the subject of the majority of studies.

SS is the most rigorously studied treatment thus far for PTSD/SUD. It has beenstudied in 22 of the 35 studies in this review: 13 pilots, three controlled studies, and six RCTs(one a hybrid RCT). It is also the model with the most number of independent studies, which,as noted earlier, are less subject to positive bias. Consistent with all the studies in this review,clients in SS studies were consistently in the realm of complex trauma/PTSD, with comorbidity,high severity and chronicity, and multiple life problems. Various studies had strong minorityrepresentation. There were relatively few exclusionary criteria for clients, and in many studiesclinicians were native to the setting. SS has been studied primarily in group modality (18 of the22 studies), with most of these open rather than closed groups, and usually singly led rather thanco-led. Overall, these characteristics are representative of frontline SUD treatment settings.

Some studies are partial-dose SS only. Six of the studies are partial-dose SS studies,using 24% to 48% of the model (#10–12, 19–21), including the largest investigation of SS to date,the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN) study, which used 48% ofthe model in 6 weeks (#21). “Partial-dose” refers to the number of SS topics used. The CTNstudy, for example, used 12 of the 25 SS topics. Partial-dose does not refer to a total numberof hours conducted per se as SS does not have a defined dose in that sense (per the SS manual

Page 9: HelpingVulnerablePopulations:AComprehensiveReviewofthe ...sites.bu.edu/sswhrsaseminar/files/2014/01/Helping...search addresses complex samples excluded from “gold standard” PTSD-alone

Review of Treatments 441

sessions can vary in duration of session and timing of sessions, based on the needs of the clientand clinician). Partial-dose studies address a different question than full dose SS studies. Theyask, “How well does SS work when only a segment of the content is delivered?” which in all sixpartial-dose studies thus far was less than half of its content. (Thus far, all reviews that includeSS omit this important point, e.g., Bernardy et al., 2013; Torchalla, Nosen, Rostam & Allen,et al. 2012, van Dam, Vedel, Ehring & Emmelkamp et al., 2011.)

SS has shown positive outcomes across studies generally. Across studies SS has hadnumerous positive outcomes on PTSD, SUD, and other variables (the many “yes” results inTable 2). In the controlled trials and RCTs, SS outperformed the control on PTSD but notSUD in some studies (#13, 14, 15, 20); on SUD but not PTSD in another (#18); and in somestudies, on both PTSD and SUD (#16, 17) and on both PTSD and SUD among more severeSUD patients (#21, on secondary analyses of subgroups). Most also found SS outperformed thecontrol on other variables, such as psychopathology, cognitions, and coping. Thus, in keepingwith the finding noted for other models, it appears to be easier to obtain results for PTSD andmental health outcomes than for SUD, although SS has shown demonstrable results on SUD insome studies as well.

Also, consistent with our earlier summary of Table 2, there are various instances of bothSS and the control improving. Studies of partial-dose SS have had mixed results, with somefinding stronger results than others (see studies #10–12, 18–20). In the partial-dose CTN study,secondary analyses on subgroups found SS to outperform the control in various results (andespecially with more severe SUD clients), and in only one instance found the control outper-forming SS (#21). When treatment satisfaction has been studied it has consistently been strong.Also, greater dosage has been shown to positively affect outcomes (#13, #19), and in two studiesSS obtained higher attendance than the control (#18, 21). SS has achieved various positiveoutcomes even with delivery by case managers (#14), by peers (#9), and with client who havepathological gambling disorder (#8). Thus far, there appear to be no discernable patterns ofdifference in studies based on factors such as individual versus group delivery, level of minor-ity representation, or type of clinicians delivering it, but formal comparative studies would beneeded to address these topics.

Finally, the model has been found to be very safe (Killeen et al., 2008), with no regular orfrequent pattern of worsening, though an occasional finding has occurred per Table 2 on asingle variable. SS is listed as having strong research support by various professional entities,based on their criteria sets, including Level A by the International Society for Traumatic StressStudies, and “strong research support” by Divisions 12 and 50 of the American PsychologicalAssociation.

Summary and Discussion

In the pages above, we explored the topic of treatment outcome studies for complex PTSD/SUD.Below is a recap of some of the key findings, although this is clearly an early stage literature withfar more research needed to draw firm conclusions.

The majority of treatments developed for these complex PTSD/SUD clients are present-focused approaches, emphasizing stabilization, coping skills, and psychoeducation, and, bydesign, not including past-focused (e.g., exposure-based) emotionally intense components. Thesemodels, all of which have had one or more empirical studies, are HWR/BT, ICBT, SS, TARGET,and TREM.

In recent years, a few models have also been developed or studied that include a past-focusedcomponent: CTPCD, later named COPE, CC, and SDPT. Each of these represents majoradaptations of classic exposure-based models to make them safe and effective for PTSD/SUDpopulations, who are perceived as more vulnerable and challenging to treat than PTSD-alone.Each of the resulting models is a present-focused plus past-focused combination, not a past-focused intervention delivered alone.

Overall, the studies in this review represent a more complex clientele than has been studiedin most of the gold standard PTSD-alone outcome literature thus far. A typical description

Page 10: HelpingVulnerablePopulations:AComprehensiveReviewofthe ...sites.bu.edu/sswhrsaseminar/files/2014/01/Helping...search addresses complex samples excluded from “gold standard” PTSD-alone

442 Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session, May 2013

comes from study #13: “In addition to co-occurring SUD/psychiatric disorders, most had expe-rienced child abuse, been homeless, served jail time, and suffered interpersonal abuse in the past6 months; SUD was primarily drugs rather than alcohol (with methamphetamine common).”

Thirty-five studies are described (Table 1) and their outcomes listed (Table 2). Overall, resultsshow numerous positive outcomes across the domains of PTSD, SUD, and other variables,including psychopathology, cognitions, and coping. However, it also appears that SUD is harderto treat than PTSD (most models having more effect on the PTSD than SUD when studied incontrolled or randomized trials). The “controls” in these trials have almost uniformly beenSUD treatments, whether as treatment-as-usual SUD treatments or formal manualized SUDtreatments (e.g., relapse prevention or individual drug counseling). Thus, it may be the casethat the PTSD/SUD treatments were duplicating the effort already being focused on SUD.However, it may also be the case that SUD is simply harder to treat. The conceptualizationof SUD (especially substance dependence) as a “chronic relapsing illness,” much like diabetes,rather than a resolvable acute syndrome (as PTSD is currently conceptualized in gold standardPTSD-alone treatments currently), may be useful to keep in mind in future research.

All treatments studied showed a positive effect in pilot studies. In controlled trials or RCTs,most treatments evidenced at least one variable or scale in which it was superior to the control,although some did not. Also, both the study treatment and the control showed improvementon various outcomes in various studies, highlighting the point that it is not always differentialoutcomes that are important, but also looking at ways in which both show effects.

SS is the most studied model, with 22 of the 35 studies. It is the only treatment thus far thathad an effect on both PTSD and SUD relative to a control (in controlled trials or RCTs). Insome studies it shows a superior effect on PTSD and in one study it is superior just on SUD.Six of the SS studies, including the large CTN study (#21), were partial-dose studies with lessthan 50% of the SS content delivered, a fact omitted in prior literature reviews that covered SS.Overall, various positive SS outcomes are listed in Table 2 across a diverse range of studies. Twostudies have found that greater dosage has been shown to positively affect outcomes (#13, #19),and in two studies SS obtained higher attendance than the control (#18, 21). A few isolatednegative outcomes were found on single variables; but overall research shows it to be a highlysafe model. SS studies have largely been group modality studies, typically open groups, withclinicians native to the setting, and by independent investigators. As such, the literature on itlargely represents effectiveness rather than efficacy studies, and evidences its ability to producepositive outcomes in real-world conditions. However, more studies are clearly needed.

Several important aspects were beyond the scope of this review: comparison of attendancepatterns, effect sizes (degree of change), and statistical meta-analysis. However, given the currentstate of the literature (see the next point), meta-analysis appears premature.

The studies reviewed are impressive in being the first generation of research to focus on thecomplex PTSD/SUD clientele that have consistently been excluded from most prior outcomeresearch. However, the studies contain notable weaknesses in both design and reporting. Theyoften lack end-of-treatment outcomes (which are the most relevant to understand the effectof models and to improve them). In addition, they are typically pilot studies conducted inconjunction with variable amounts of other treatments that are unspecified, generally do notreport on the full array of comorbid conditions in their samples, and tend not to use urinalysisto verify SUD self-reports.

A Public Health Perspective

Beyond the above findings, it is useful to address the treatment needs of these clients froma broader public health lens. There is no model yet in existence nor is there one likely to bedeveloped that can resolve quickly what for many of these clients are decades of abuse, neglect,violence, substance use, and the host of associated life problems that co-occur with these, such ashomelessness, criminal justice involvement, job problems, poverty, discrimination, and physicalhealth problems. They are a multiply burdened segment of the population with high chronicity(Brown, Huba, & Melchior, 1995). They often have the least resources for care and receive

Page 11: HelpingVulnerablePopulations:AComprehensiveReviewofthe ...sites.bu.edu/sswhrsaseminar/files/2014/01/Helping...search addresses complex samples excluded from “gold standard” PTSD-alone

Review of Treatments 443

treatment from some of the least trained clinical staff. They often end up in public healthsystems of care.

Thus, some important questions for the next generation of research include the following, interms of behavioral treatments.

What length of treatment is actually needed for these clients? As shown in Table 1, treatmentsin this study had wide-ranging length, but few treatments were actually very brief, suggestingthat for complex PTSD/SUD clients, longer treatment is perceived as necessary. In keeping withthis, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, one of the most widely adopted treatments for complex pop-ulations, is designed as one year of approximately 182 hours of group and individual treatment(see Landes, Garovoy & Burkman, this issue). Various PTSD-alone gold standard treatmentshave been identified as short-term models of 12–20 sessions, but they are gold standard only fora narrow segment of PTSD clients, and certainly not as yet gold standard, much less empiricallyvalidated, for the types of high complexity clients covered in this review. (There have been a fewinitial studies in which past-focused models have been tried with complex PTSD/SUD clientsper Tables 1 and 2. But they have always been combined with present-focused models and madeinto longer treatments, as described earlier.)

What is consistently missing from the outcome literature is a clear picture of treatments thatclients had prior to the study treatment and after the study treatment. Many if not most ofthese clients are “repeat customers” who cycle through many rounds of treatment, yet this is notcaptured in the current zeitgeist of how models are studied. It is as if we are watching just themiddle few minutes of a movie and have missed the much larger story before and after. Evenstudies with follow-up periods rarely report on what treatments client received during that timein type, amount, and level of helpfulness.

Complex comorbid clients at the severe end of the spectrum may need models that provideongoing support rather than a time-limited course. Certainly for less severe, less complex clients,treatment may work as envisioned in manuals with a limited number of sessions. But others mayneed support for a long time. This is reflected in the wisdom of 12-step approaches that provideongoing, free, continuous support to help maintain abstinence from substances and that grewup as a grass-roots model developed by addicts themselves. In the PTSD field and mental healthbroadly, there is currently no widespread supportive resource of this type. Findings consistentlyshow that SUD clients, including those with PTSD, who attend 12-step groups are more likely tosustain positive outcomes. For clients in the severe end of the spectrum, SUD may be more of adisorder like diabetes that requires long-term management. Becoming creative about developingresources for complex clients (beyond 12-step groups) may be an important public health goal.Some of the models identified in this review can perhaps be used in such ways.

It is crucial to focus more on which treatments, and what about those treatments, are mostappealing, easy to implement, and low cost for clinicians and clients in public health systems ofcare, in relation to a given unit of outcome. “Horse race” comparisons (which rarely evidencepowerful or consistent differences between well-developed models) are increasingly less relevantthan determining which models clients want to engage in and which their workforce can deliver,within the realities of the setting. Major reviews and several decades of research indicate thatwell-crafted models do not typically outperform each other (Benish, Imel & Wampold, 2007;Bradley et al., 2005; Garfield & Bergin, 1998; Imel, Wampold, Miller & Fleming, 2008; Powers,Halpern, Ferenschak, Gillihan & Foa, 2010). However, they may differ in other important waysin terms of these other aspects (appeal, ease of implementation, and cost). A model that hasslightly less effect on outcome but is much stronger on these factors may be a good public healthchoice. Thus far, such aspects have not been researched in the PTSD/SUD field in relation totreatment models.

It is also essential to attend more to the clinicians treating these clients, many of whomhave substantial histories of trauma and/or addiction themselves. They typically manage largecaseloads of complex clients, often without sufficient support or training. There is little empiricalresearch on how to best select and retain them, and to support them in their work. The adventof evidence-based manuals is important, but their workforce needs go beyond manuals.

Overall, as this review shows, there have been creative and strongly humanitarian attempts tocreate various treatment manuals that are sensitive to the trauma, comorbidity, and widespread

suffering endured by complex PTSD/SUD clients. Manualized models can bring a high levelof innovation and inspiration to clinical work. The hope is that in the decades ahead, empiricalefforts will continue to expand our understanding of how to best help the broadest range ofthese clients.
