Abstract
A preliminary study of factors associated with incorporation into the program and retention during the first 4 mo. of treatment among women entering mixed-sex and all-women demonstration drug abuse treatment programs is presented. Prostitution, parent''s deviance, and entering while under legal jeopardy are among the more important characteristics of women less likely to stay in treatment, although these vary across different programs. One relatively small demonstration therapeutic community proved exceptionally able to retain more difficult clients.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
