About this study

Official title: Vivitrol for Reducing Driving While Impaired Behavior Among Repeat Offenders-a Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Vivitrol is effective at reducing attempts to drive after drinking among repeat driving while intoxicated (DWI) offenders with Ignition Interlock devices.

Read the detailed description

We propose to conduct an open label trial of Vivitrol in combination with an individual compliance enhancement therapy known as Medication Management Therapy (MMT) as an adjunct to Ignition Interlock in the management and treatment of DWI. Subjects will be recruited from a local Interlock provider. This program of research will collect pilot data for a study to determine whether pharmacotherapy, previously recognized as effective, can be successfully combined with existing counseling treatments and sanctions for persons convicted of a repeat DWI alcohol offense. We will investigate the extent to which this combination of sanctions and treatment will significantly decrease attempts to drive after drinking among offenders, and whether the effect persists following discontinuation of Vivitrol.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evidence of Attempts to Drive After Drinking

    This was measured as Percent of days with an Interlock report of "Failure to Start" due to alcohol pre/on medication and 6 months post medication.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. % Days w/1+Interlock Test Failures

    This describes the percent of days in past month where the subject at least 1 interlock test failure.

    Measured: One month post treatment
