The World Health Organization has urged governments worldwide to implement evidence-based treatment services for drug addiction and mental health disorders, but the role of geographic characteristics in influencing treatment continuity for this population has been largely understudied. Here, we employ logistic regression (N = 294) to investigate how accessibility and neighborhood socioeconomic context influenced treatment continuity for a sample of 294 drug-dependent patients who received acute inpatient psychiatric treatment at a large, inner-city hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and who were then referred to outpatient care. Results indicate that longer travel time to treatment, a high crime rate in the patient's home neighborhood, and traveling from a relatively lower to a higher crime neighborhood for treatment suppress treatment continuity. These contextual influences are moderated by ethnicity, where whites are influenced more strongly by travel time to treatment. This likely reflects the locations of treatment programs relative to patterns of residential segregation. African Americans both reside and attend treatment within the very highest crime areas, and this appears to have a particularly negative impact on treatment continuity for African Americans. This research highlights the need for more careful consideration of geographic issues in psychiatric treatment planning. La Organización Mundial de la Salud ha urgido a los gobiernos de todo el mundo a implementar servicios de tratamiento basados en evidencia por desórdenes de drogadicción y salud mental; sin embargo, el papel que tienen las características geográficas para influir en la continuidad del tratamiento de esta población ha sido, en general, muy poco estudiado. En nuestro caso utilizamos la regresión logística (N = 294) para investigar cómo influye en la continuidad del tratamiento la accesibilidad y el contexto socioeconómico del vecindario, para una muestra de 294 individuos adictos a la droga, quienes recibieron intenso tratamiento psiquiátrico como pacientes internados en un hospital mayor para áreas deprimidas, en Filadelfia, Pensilvania, para luego ser asignados para tratamiento como pacientes ambulatorios. Los resultados indican que un tiempo más largo de viaje para el tratamiento, una tasa alta de criminalidad en el vecindario de residencia del paciente, y el viajar para tratamiento de un vecindario relativamente más bajo en crimen a uno de mayor criminalidad, son condiciones que reprimen la continuidad del tratamiento. Estas influencias contextuales son moderadas por etnicidad, donde los blancos son influidos más intensamente por el tiempo de viaje al tratamiento. Esto probablemente refleje las localizaciones de programas de tratamiento relativas a los patrones de segregación residencial. Los afroamericanos residen y atienden al tratamiento dentro de las áreas con mayor criminalidad, lo cual parece tener un impacto particularmente negativo sobre la continuidad del tratamiento para este grupo étnico. Esta investigación destaca la necesidad de una más cuidadosa consideración de los aspectos geográficos en la planificación del tratamiento psiquiátrico.
