Abstract

ABSTRACT Using clinical data mining (CDM) methodology, this study evaluates the relationship between childhood trauma and treatment outcomes among adults with substance use disorders. Data come from three substance use treatment facilities operating under the same agency using the same treatment program (N = 444). We examined the influence of childhood trauma, neglect, and school violence on substance use treatment completion and length of stay. We also looked at the connection between client’s family history of substance use and their experience of neglect and childhood trauma. We found that family history of substance use was significantly related to both neglect and childhood trauma. We also found that the number of weeks a client spent in treatment was associated treatment location. Furthermore, client age at admission and program completion were significantly related. Marital status, sex, and number of diagnoses significantly related to childhood trauma. These findings suggest that comprehensive assessments that focus on understanding client demographics and history of family substance use can guide effective intervention. Further research on how childhood trauma influences substance use treatment outcomes can also help improve treatment.

儿童创伤和药物使用治疗的住院时间和完成情况

使用临床数据挖掘(CDM)方法，本研究评估了成人物质使用障碍患者的童年创伤与治疗结果之间的关系。数据来自同一机构下使用相同治疗方案的三个物质使用治疗设施(N = 444)。我们研究了童年创伤、忽视和校园暴力对药物使用治疗完成度和住院时间的影响。我们还研究了病人的药物使用家族史与他们被忽视的经历和童年创伤之间的联系。我们发现，药物使用的家族史与忽视和童年创伤都有显著关系。我们还发现，患者在治疗中花费的周数与治疗地点有关。此外，来访者入院时的年龄与项目完成程度显著相关。婚姻状况、性别和诊断数量与儿童创伤显著相关。这些发现表明，以了解客户人口统计数据和家庭药物使用史为重点的综合评估可以指导有效的干预。对儿童创伤如何影响药物使用治疗结果的进一步研究也有助于改善治疗。
