We interviewed by random sample 20 graduates and 20 dropouts from a drug dependence therapeutic community to identify any differences between groups. Although the two groups were from similar backgrounds at admission, the graduates seemed to do better after treatment. Throughout the follow-up period, the graduated spent proportionately less time addicted or in jail and proportionately more time employed or in school than those who dropped out of the treatment program. At follow-up, more graduates were available for voluntary abstinence and were abstaining from addicting drugs than were the dropouts. Also, at the follow-up interview, more graduates were employed or in school and fewer were legally involved than the dropouts. In the dropout group, abstinence in the follow-up period was correlated with longer length of treatment.
我们通过随机抽样的方式，采访了戒毒治疗社区的20名毕业生和20名辍学者，以确定两组之间的差异。尽管两组在入院时背景相似，但毕业生在治疗后的表现似乎更好。在整个随访期内，与治疗项目辍学者相比，毕业生吸毒成瘾或入狱的时间比例较低，就业或上学的时间比例较高。随访时，自愿戒毒并戒除成瘾药物的毕业生比辍学者更多。此外，在随访面谈中，就业或上学的毕业生比辍学者更多，涉及法律问题的毕业生比辍学者更少。在辍学者组中，随访期内的戒毒与较长的治疗时长相关。
