The progress in treatment of 302 methadone maintenance and drug-free outpatient clients was examined as a function of the background of their 82 counselors. Counselors were either ex-addict paraprofessionals (EXAs), non-ex-addict paraprofessionals (NEAs), or degreed professional counselors (PROs). Client progress was assessed in five areas: drug use, criminality, educational activities, employment, and life quality. In the first four areas, status at treatment entry contrasted with that at two subsequent measurement points: the first interview and a 4-month follow-up. In no area of evaluation were outcomes substantially more favorable for clients of one counselor group over another. It was concluded that the three counselor groups were equally effective.
对302名美沙酮维持治疗门诊患者和戒毒门诊患者的治疗进展进行了考察，考察内容是其82名咨询师的背景情况。咨询师分为戒毒者辅助专业人员（EXA）、非戒毒者辅助专业人员（NEA）或有学位的专业咨询师（PRO）。从五个方面评估患者的进展：药物使用、犯罪情况、教育活动、就业及生活质量。在前四个方面，治疗开始时的状况与随后两个测量点（首次访谈和4个月随访）的状况形成对比。在任何评估领域，一个咨询师组的患者的治疗结果都没有明显优于另一个咨询师组。研究得出结论，这三个咨询师组的效果相同。
