Treatment of Drug Abuse
Abstract
The major drug-treatment modalities-methadone maintenance, therapeutic communities, outpatient drug-free programs, and some criminal justice system-based treatments such as civil commitment-have all been shown to be successful by most outcome criteria. Programs with flexible policies, goals, and philosophies produce better results than inflexible programs, especially when they adopt combinations of treatment components that are suited to individual clients' problems and needs. Patients' lengths of time in treatment are highly correlated with positive outcomes, but dropout rates are high for most modalities. Clients entering treatment under legal coercion do as well by most outcome criteria as volunteer clients and may stay in treatment longer. The evidence on treatment effectiveness suggests a social policy of expanded treatment capacities and options and increased attention to adequate implementation of treatment programs.

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.
