Over 2000 controlled clinical trials yield positive effects on a wide array of problem areas, including cardiovascular rehabilitation, diabetes management, dietary change, hypertension, illicit drug use, infection risk reduction, management of chronic mental disorders, problem drinking, problem gambling, smoking as well as concomitant mental and substance use disorders.
