Treatment outcomes: First time versus treatment-experienced clients
Abstract
A sample of treatment seeking clients was assessed at intake and 6, 12, 24 and 30 months later. Treatment-naive and treatment-experienced clients were compared in terms of baseline characteristics, 6-month outcomes, and predictors of these outcomes. Long-term outcomes of clients achieving an initially successful outcome were compared for the two groups. Results revealed significant short-term improvement for both groups, although treatment-experienced clients reported more serious drug use. The most consistent significant predictors of substance use outcomes were baseline severity of substance use and self-help participation. Outcome predictors unique to each group were also identified. Long-term outcomes for clients with an initial successful outcome tended to be better for treatment-experienced than treatment-naive clients. Both groups tended to have poorer outcomes as the follow-up duration increased. The results suggest that common and unique predictors of outcomes be considered in treating these two groups of clients. Additionally, treatment-naive clients may be at increased risk for poor outcomes even when initial success is achieved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
