Abstract
The present study was designed to identify variables associated with client retention and success at the Rocco Antenucci Memorial Adult Residential Drug Treatment Center in Akron, Ohio (USA). Multiple stepwise regressions were utilized to evaluate the variance contributed by demographic, psychological, and interactional variables associated with client retention for 100 program participants. Degree of social support and employment at discharge accounted for 63% of the variance. Factors related to successful treatment completion, identified using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, included: involuntary admission, family involvement in treatment, degree of social support, and employment at discharge.
