    Background:

    • Therapeutic communities are a recognized approach for alcohol addiction treatment.
    • Understanding shared perceptions between patients and staff is crucial for treatment efficacy.
    • Assessing the congruence of therapeutic components can inform treatment program development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the perceived helpfulness of therapeutic components in an alcohol treatment unit.
    • To assess the degree of value-sharing and treatment philosophy articulation between patients and staff.
    • To identify core therapeutic activities that are congruently valued by both patient and staff groups.

  • Perceived helpfulness of therapeutic components was assessed.
  • Nonparametric statistics were employed to measure treatment philosophy articulation and value-sharing.

    • Main Results:

    • A core set of therapeutic activities were identified as being congruently valued by both patients and staff.
    • The degree of value-sharing between patients and staff was quantified.
    • Perceptions of therapeutic component helpfulness varied, but a common ground was established.

    Conclusions:

    • Shared congruent values between patients and staff are identifiable within therapeutic communities for alcohol treatment.
    • Identifying these shared values can strengthen the treatment philosophy and improve value-sharing.
    • This congruence may contribute to a more cohesive and effective therapeutic environment.
