Retaining women in substance abuse treatment is difficult. Increased length of stay (LOS) has been found to be predictive of positive treatment outcomes, including lower drug use, criminal behavior, and unemployment among adults, and improved growth and development for children. This study used survival analysis statistical methods to examine LOS in a residential treatment program for women and children as the program shifted from a traditional therapeutic community, to gender-specific programming, to interdisciplinary, family-focused treatment. Results suggest that with implementation of family-focused treatment, LOS increases more than with gender-specific programming alone.
让女性持续接受药物滥用治疗很困难。研究发现，住院时间延长可预示积极的治疗效果，包括成年人药物使用减少、犯罪行为减少以及失业率降低，儿童的成长和发育得到改善。本研究采用生存分析统计方法，考察了一个针对妇女和儿童的住院治疗项目的住院时间，该项目从传统的治疗社区模式转变为针对性别的项目模式，再转变为跨学科的、以家庭为重点的治疗模式。结果表明，实施以家庭为重点的治疗后，住院时间的增加幅度大于仅采用针对性别项目模式时。
