The primary hypotheses are that, relative to the control condition, Navigating my Journey will be associated with significantly higher motivation, higher self-efficacy, improved relapse coping skills, and lower substance use. The secondary hypotheses are that, relative to the control condition, Navigating my Journey will be associated with increased therapeutic alliances with counselors.
