The objective of this research is to evaluate the outcomes of a treatment for addicts. 248 subjects were tested before and 5 months after treatment with the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Exposure to treatment was based on the number of clients' contact hours with a therapist. The sample was divided into three groups according to number of hours spent in treatment. The data were analyzed using MANOVA on the seven scales of the ASI for the three groups and the two time periods. Results showed that the severity of addiction problems decreased after treatment, and decreased more for subjects who underwent treatment for a longer period of time.
本研究的目的是评估针对成瘾者的一种治疗方法的效果。248名受试者在治疗前和治疗后5个月接受了成瘾严重程度指数（ASI）测试。治疗的参与程度基于客户与治疗师的接触时长。样本根据治疗时长分为三组。使用多变量方差分析（MANOVA）对三组在两个时间段内ASI的七个量表数据进行了分析。结果显示，治疗后成瘾问题的严重程度有所下降，且治疗时间较长的受试者下降得更多。
