  • Multivariate statistical analyses were used to map and analyze the generated statements.

    • Main Results:

    • A quality framework was identified, characterized by two primary dimensions: 'Best Practice' and 'Performance'.
    • Nine distinct clusters emerged, with 'Attitude of staff,' 'Client orientation,' and 'Treatment practice' identified as the most significant.
    • The statement 'effectiveness' was rated as the most important element within the framework.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed quality framework for addiction treatment programs shares similarities with existing, broader quality frameworks.
    • The identified framework provides a specific structure and key elements tailored to addiction treatment.
    • This research offers a foundation for enhancing quality assessment and improvement in addiction services.
