Research examining moderators of therapeutic community treatment outcomes has tended to emphasize the importance of length of stay in programs. To this extent the research literature implies a causal role for treatment in the determination of treatment outcomes. Using the Delphi technique, a panel of residents, staff members, and other drug treatment agency staff involved with the Odyssey House therapeutic community in Melbourne were surveyed regarding their perceptions of factors moderating successful treatment in this program. Examination of the perceptions of those involved with the delivery of therapeutic community treatment suggested a strong respect for the importance of client motivational factors in the determination of treatment outcomes. It is suggested that future research in this area could profitably focus on attempts to quantify the separate contribution of treatment and nontreatment factors in explaining treatment outcomes.
研究治疗性社区治疗结果的调节因素往往强调项目停留时间的重要性。在这个程度上，研究文献暗示了治疗在决定治疗结果方面的因果作用。使用德尔菲技术，对墨尔本奥德赛之家治疗性社区的一组居民、工作人员以及其他药物治疗机构的工作人员进行了调查，询问他们对该项目中调节成功治疗的因素的看法。对参与治疗性社区治疗的人员的看法进行的调查表明，他们非常重视客户动机因素在决定治疗结果方面的重要性。建议该领域未来的研究可以有益地集中于尝试量化治疗因素和非治疗因素在解释治疗结果方面的单独贡献。
