The adolescent drug treatment outcome research literature primarily focuses on short-term follow-up periods (e.g., 1 year). This study extends the said literature by describing the pattern of drug use at 1, 4, and 5.5 years in three groups of adolescents: a Treatment group, which underwent a 12-step-based drug treatment program (n = 159); a Waiting List group (n = 62); and a Community Control group (n = 94). The Treatment group consistently showed significantly lower levels of drug involvement than the Waiting List group. However, at all points, both the Treatment and Waiting List groups showed higher levels of drug use than the Community Controls. Within the Treatment group, completing treatment and involvement in aftercare were positively associated with improved outcomes. The treatment implications of the study are discussed.
青少年药物治疗结果研究文献主要关注短期随访期（例如，1年）。本研究通过描述三组青少年在1年、4年和5.5年时的药物使用模式，扩展了上述文献：治疗组，该组接受了基于12步的药物治疗计划（n = 159）；候补名单组（n = 62）；以及社区对照组（n = 94）。治疗组始终显示出比候补名单组显著更低的药物使用水平。然而，在所有时间点，治疗组和候补名单组的药物使用水平均高于社区对照组。在治疗组中，完成治疗和参与后续护理与改善结果呈正相关。本文讨论了该研究对治疗的启示。
