Abstract
Outcome and process data are reported on 98 male veteran polydrug abusers (non-heroin addicts) treated with peer group confrontation therapy in an inpatient therapeutic community setting. One year follow-up data are reported on 79% of the sample. A number of demographic and other descriptive variables were found to be predictive of therapeutic outcome; psychological tests did not predict outcome.Keywords
