Brief summary
The ACT for ICE project uses an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy based intervention called the Recovery and Support Program (RaSP) to support women with a diagnosis of methamphetamine use disorder. The purpose of this study is to look at how well the RaSP program works in alcohol and drug treatment. This will include looking at how many people participate, their scores on some questionnaires, what they liked and did not like about the program, whether they can think more flexibly after completing the program and whether they are using less methamphetamine.
Interventions
The Recovery and Support Program (RaSP) is 45 sessions long, with 3 sessions covered twice per week over 8 weeks. Each session runs for approximately 1-hour comprising of activities, games and breaks. Some topics covered in the intervention include Present Moment Awareness, Acceptance, Defusion, Values, Committed Action and Self-as-Context. Participants receive a participant manual that they will work through and reference throughout the duration of the program. This manual has been designed for

The program structure has been adapted for individual delivery in a face to face format. Facilitators will be alcohol and drug clinicians with relevant experience working with individuals using methamphetamine. Adherence to the sessions will be monitored through attendance, participation and engagement.
