The Role of Social Support Following Short‐Term Inpatient Treatment
Abstract
The intensive, time‐limited, short‐term inpatient modality treatment for substance abuse appears to have positive outcomes despite its brevity. This study examined patient characteristics and posttreatment experiences to understand who is likely to benefit from this treatment and under what circumstances. Our sample included 748 patients in 12 short‐term inpatient programs. Twenty‐two percent of patients used cocaine at least weekly in the 1‐year follow‐up period, and an additional 9% drank frequently (compared with pretreatment rates of 69% and 15% respectively). Overall, patients' social support networks following treatment were more important factors than the pre‐ or during‐treatment variables examined.

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.
