Abstract:
This retrospective study examines 18-month outcomes for 38 participants in an urban, residential integrated treatment (IT) program, and whether residents experienced different treatment benefits. Informed by an ACT team approach, the program emphasized harm reduction and motivational interventions. The design is naturalistic, and outcomes are self-comparisons over time reported in the aggregate. Repeated measurements with three standardized scales tracked stage of treatment and extent of alcohol and drug use. Outcomes analyses reveal advancements in stage of treatment and significant reductions in use of alcohol and drugs. Participants also worked more and were hospitalized less.
