Abstract
Thirty former residents of two different therapeutic communities for illicit drug users were interviewed between 6 months and 1 year after terminating treatment to determine how successfully they had been in adjusting to society. Two findings of this research concerned the amount of time the former residents spent in their therapeutic communities: Time in treatment was associated with fewer arrests once they graduated from these programs and was also associated with less drug use.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
