Beginning
in 1999, BHSPC was chosen as a Community Treatment Program
(CTP) for the MUSC-centered Southern Consortium Node (SC Node) of the
nationwide Clinical Trials Network (CTN).
The SC Node is comprised of five research CTPs.
The mission of the CTN is to improve the
quality of drug abuse treatment throughout the country using science as
the
vehicle.
While
the research department mostly works on CTN trials, there are lags
between studies. We
have demonstrated
successful performance on two CTN trials therefore; we have had the
opportunity
to be involved with several National Institute of Health and private
industry
trials in the interim. We
are currently
working on CTN-0046, “Smoking Cessation and Stimulant Treatment
(S-CAST),” which
evaluates the impact of concurrent outpatient smoking cessation and
stimulant
treatment on stimulant dependence.
This
study will continue for the next
several
years.
The
future of the research department is solely dependent on outside
funding and the formulation of new research ideas.
We are currently collaborating with MUSC on
several innovative concepts. We
are
looking
forward to research prospects that benefit our clients as well as the
community.
