Interim Descriptive/Analytical Findings
- After 12 months, participants showed statistically significant increases in past month abstinence from marijuana, alcohol, and cocaine. For all sites, the proportion of women abstinent from alcohol, as measured by no use in the past month, increased by 60%; the proportion abstinent from marijuana increased by 20%; and the proportion abstinent from cocaine increased by 34%.
- In addition to reductions in alcohol and other drug use, those still struggling to recover used substances on fewer days.
- Nationally, after 12 months in the program, participants spent significantly less money on illegal drugs and alcohol in the past month.
- Longer stays in treatment have been correlated with better recovery times.
- For participants who have been followed for 12 months, employment during this time frame more than doubled.
- Among those employed, the average number of days worked in the past 30 days increased from 3 to 13 days.
- Employed participants' average income from the past 30 days increased from $105.00 to $546.65.
