Interventions

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — BEHAVIORAL
    The ACT group intervention will involve a mixture of didactic instruction, discussion, and experiential activities. ACT will help internally displaced persons to manage stress and prevent or reduce substance use behaviors, ultimately mitigating the onset of substance use disorders.
  • Attention Control — BEHAVIORAL
    Usual care will be minimally enhanced by providing participants with an educational information session that provides information on health promotion.
