Download or read book Pretreatment Client Characteristics and Treatment Retention in an Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Program written by Shauna Elizabeth Fuller and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness and efficacy of substance abuse treatment is well established. At the same time, clients often prematurely drop out of substance abuse treatment, negatively impacting their chances of achieving favorable outcomes. Investigating variables associated with treatment retention has become increasingly important considering one of the most robust findings in substance abuse treatment outcome research is the positive relationship between the amount of time spent in treatment and post-treatment outcomes (e.g., decreased drug/alcohol use, decreased criminal activity, improved social functioning). This study examined the relationship between pre-treatment client characteristics and treatment drop-out among 273 adults who were admitted to intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment. An intake assessment battery was administered to all participants in an effort to gain a broad understanding of client attributes at the point of treatment entry. A series of regression analyses were used to investigate if client characteristics could help predict treatment completion status, time to drop-out, and number of treatment sessions attended. Results indicate that age and meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder were statistically significant predictors in all three regression analyses. Meeting criteria for a cocaine disorder was found to be a statistically significant predictor of treatment completion status and time to drop-out. Finally, number of years using alcohol regularly was found to be a statistically significant predictor of the number of treatment sessions attended. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations to help improve client retention in the substance abuse treatment program utilized for this study are provided.

Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Book excerpt: "Maxwell Jones, a psychiatrist well known for his concept of "the therapeutic community," which he and colleagues established for character-disordered patients nearly thirty years ago, has now taken this concept further in light of current systems theory as it is being applied to social organizations.

Download or read book The Heroic Client written by Barry L. Duncan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this controversial book, psychologists Barry Duncan and Scott Miller, cofounders of the Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change, challenge the traditional focus on diagnosis, "silver bullet" techniques, and magic pills, exposing them as empirically bankrupt practices that only diminish the role of clients and hasten therapy's extinction. Instead, they advocate for the long-ignored but most crucial factor in therapeutic success-the innate resources of the client. Based on extensive clinical research and case studies, The Heroic Client not only shows how to harness the client's powers of regeneration to make therapy effective, but also how to enlist the client as a partner to make therapy accountable. The Heroic Client inspires therapists to boldly rewrite the drama of therapy, recast clients in their rightful role as heroes and heroines of the therapeutic stage, and legitimize their services to third-party payers without the compromises of the medical model.
