Research has stressed the value of providing specialized services to women and suggests the importance of treatment duration. This quasi-experimental retrospective study reports on the continuity of care for women with children who were admitted to long-term residential substance abuse treatment. Women were admitted to 7 agencies offering specialized, women's only treatment (SP, n = 747) or to 9 agencies that provided standard mixed-gender treatment (ST, n = 823). Client and treatment data were gathered from administrative sources. We hypothesized that women in specialized treatment would demonstrate higher continuing care rates after controlling for treatment completion and length of stay. Women in SP programs (37%) were more likely than those in ST programs (14%) to continue care. Multivariate analyses revealed that SP clients who completed treatment with longer stays were most likely to continue care. The findings show that specialized treatment for women promotes continuing care and demonstrate the importance of treatment completion.
研究强调了为女性提供专业服务的价值，并表明了治疗时长的重要性。这项准实验性回顾性研究报告了入住长期住院药物滥用治疗机构的有子女女性的持续护理情况。女性被收治于7家提供专门的、仅针对女性的治疗机构（专门治疗组，n = 747）或9家提供标准的男女混合治疗的机构（标准治疗组，n = 823）。客户和治疗数据来自行政记录。我们假设，在控制治疗完成情况和住院时长后，接受专门治疗的女性会有更高的持续护理率。专门治疗组的女性（37%）比标准治疗组的女性（14%）更有可能继续接受护理。多变量分析显示，完成治疗且住院时间较长的专门治疗组客户最有可能继续接受护理。研究结果表明，针对女性的专门治疗可促进持续护理，并证明了治疗完成的重要性。
