Primary Outcome Measures:
- Substance use (methamphetamine, marijuana, other) [ Time Frame: over the 9 month study period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary efficacy measure is substance use measured by urine specimen and self-reports over the 12-week intervention period anf over time measured by repeated measures from baseline to discharge and follow-up: months 3, 6 and 9
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Psychosocial functioning [ Time Frame: over the 9-month study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The effects of the intervention (mobile continuing care) will be compared to standard continuing care as usual in improving psychosocial outcomes (criminal behaviors, HIV risk, health status and mental health outcomes - mood and stress) using repeated measures at baseline and follow-up: months 3, 6 and 9
- Recovery motivation, self management and confidence (self-efficacy) [ Time Frame: over the 9-month study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The effects of the intervention (mobile continuing care) compared to standard continuing care as usual will be assessed in terms of change/improvements in recovery motivation, recovery self-management (drug avoidance behaviors), and recovery confidence over time (measured by repeated measures from baseline to discharge and 3 follow-up: 3-, 6- and 9-months post-discharge)
- Social Support Utilization [ Time Frame: Over the 9-month study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The effects of the intervention (mobile continuing care) compared to standard continuing care will be assessed in terms of change/improvements in recovery service utilziation over time (measured by repeated measures from baseline to discharge and follow-up: 3-, 6- and 9-months post-discharge)

Detailed Description:
This study will include approximately 80 participants randomized to either 12 weeks of mobile continuing care (intervention) or standard continuing care as usual (control). Participants will be recruited from the treatment programs in Los Angeles County, including Matrix Institute on Addictions, Tarzana Treatment, Twin Town, Phoenix House, and Cri-Help. During the 12-week active program, participants will be monitored monthly via telephone data collection. Both groups will be followed for 10-months using repeated assessments (self-report and urine specimens) at baseline (month 0) and at follow-up points (months 3, 6, and 9).
