Description:DAART for Drug Users is an individual-level intervention. Participants are provided with a pager that is programmed to remind them to report to a mobile Community Health Care Van (CHCV) during weekdays to take their medications. In the CHCV, a DAART specialist observes the patients taking their medications and also provides social support and case management services. Weekend doses are provided on Fridays, and 1-3 days of back-up medication is also provided in case a participant is unable to appear for a DAART visit. Participants are reminded to take evening doses through the pager. Reminders for other scheduled activities, such as medical appointments, are also programmed into the pager. Each patient receives a medication bottle with a MEMS cap to monitor non -observed doses. DAART is provided for 6 consecutive months, and patients are trained to package and selfadminister their medications the month before transferring to complete self-administration of their therapy for an additional 6 months of monitoring.
