Prediction of treatment effectiveness in a drug-free therapeutic community
Abstract:
Treatment effectiveness for drug dependance is evaluated and compared with success rates reported in the literature. Program differences and varying follow-up procedures make assessment difficult. Identical pre- and posttreatment quantitative adjustment indices are recommended in order to improve the measurement of improvement. Education and length of stay in treatment are among the most important predictors of posttreatment drug usage and work akjustment. Education and improved treatment success with lower class youth are discussed.
