Abstract
A follow-up study was conducted of a sample of 360 former clients of the Narcotics Treatment Administration program in Washington, D.C., USA. Of the persons sampled 95% were located, and interviews were successfully completed with 81% of the total sample. Interviews were conducted 1-3 yr following treatment. A general decrease in drug use has occurred between the period immediately preceding treatment and time of the interview. Improvements were also realized in arrests and in employment and other prosocial activities.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
