There are many challenges to treating people for a substance use disorder. This study focuses on factors that might predict how long people stay in treatment, and whether it is enough time to complete treatment. Using data from a statewide subsample of the TEDS-D dataset, the results showed that free treatment leads to increased length of stay, while substance use frequency and days waiting to enter treatment have a negative effect on length of stay. Further length of stay predicted treatment completion. We also conducted a post hoc analysis looking at differences between inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. This study offers information that can support efforts to keep clients long enough in treatment to complete it as part of their recovery
