Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify patients with substance‐use disorders who deteriorate during treatment, and to examine baseline predictors of deterioration. Three groups of 872 patients each, matched on number of problems at baseline, were selected from a larger sample based on their treatment outcome (improved, nonresponsive, deteriorated). Deterioration was predicted by younger age and African‐American race; four aspects of patients' history (psychiatric symptoms, arrests, prior drug treatment, and recent inpatient or residential care); and having no close friends. Patients who had both an alcohol and a drug diagnosis, a personality‐disorder diagnosis, and those who had a shorter episode of care and fewer outpatient‐mental‐health visits, also were more likely to deteriorate. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
