Hello. I'm not sure that there is very much of an evidence base in terms of short TC-oriented interventions. In fact, brief interventions are not much talked about or used in the illicit drug field although they are quite common in the alcohol field. There is a listserv for alcohol-related brief interventions called Inebria - but as far as I know, their interest is in the impact of really short (1 session) interventions with people whose drinking is hazardous. I suspect you are thinking of something a bit more substantial. There are quite a few 3 month programmes and many have had their outcomes studied. If that's the sort of thing you are interested, let me know and I will see what I can find for you.
