Studies of community-based treatment programs for substance users document that motivation for treatment is a consistent predictor of clients remaining under treatment for a longer period of time. Recent research has replicated this in prison-based treatment programs, implying that motivation is clinically important regardless of setting. The current study examines predictors of treatment motivation using data collected from 661 male drug-involved inmates during in-depth interviews that include components of the Addiction Severity Index, TCU Motivation Scale, and the Heath Services Research Instrument. Findings showed treatment motivation can be measured effectively in prison-based settings. Motivation scores were not significantly different between individuals in a prison-based treatment program and those in the general prison population. Furthermore, higher motivation for treatment scores were associated with greater levels of problem severity, suggesting that individuals with more drug-use related life problems may recognize this need and desire help for beginning long-term recovery.
针对药物使用者的社区治疗项目研究表明，治疗动机是预测服务对象接受更长时间治疗的一个持续因素。近期研究在基于监狱的治疗项目中也证实了这一点，这意味着无论环境如何，动机在临床上都很重要。本研究利用对661名有吸毒问题的男性囚犯进行深入访谈时收集的数据，考察了治疗动机的预测因素，这些访谈涵盖了成瘾严重程度指数、德克萨斯基督教大学动机量表和卫生服务研究工具的组成部分。研究结果表明，治疗动机可以在基于监狱的环境中得到有效测量。在基于监狱的治疗项目中的个体与普通监狱人群中的个体之间，动机得分没有显著差异。此外，更高的治疗动机得分与更严重的问题程度相关，这表明与吸毒相关的生活问题更多的个体可能认识到这种需求，并渴望在开始长期康复时获得帮助。
