The effects of planned duration of residential drug abuse treatment on recovery and HIV risk behavior
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the effects of planned duration of residential drug abuse treatment on recovery from drug use and on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors. METHODS: Two concurrent randomized controlled trials of programs differing in planned duration were conducted: 6-month vs 12-month versions of a traditional therapeutic community program, and 3-month vs 6-month versions of a modified therapeutic community incorporati…
The Relationship Between Legal Factors and Attrition from a Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program
This article examines the legal involvement of 438 clients randomized to three- and six-month versions of a residential drug abuse treatment program with respect to early attrition (before 40 days in treatment) and later attrition (40–79 days in treatment). Concern about legall problems was reported by 21% of subjects in response to an open-ended question about factors that led to admission; 42% had other legal circumstances that were determined …
The effectiveness of alternative planned durations of residential drug abuse treatment
Randomized controlled trials were conducted at two residential drug abuse treatment facilities to compare programs that differed in planned duration.

Retention rates over comparable time periods differed minimally by planned treatment duration, and the longer programs had lower …
