treatment effectiveness
Definition
- Does treatment work? This issue is complex but extremely important, given the time and expense of alcohol and other drug treatment and the costs to society when people continue abusing alcohol and other drugs following treatment. Although numerous studies have examined treatment effectiveness, making sense of the results is difficult because of several underlying problems.ProblemsTreatment programs, for the most part, are not designed to scientifically evaluate the aspects of treatment that are most effective.
