Abstract

ABSTRACT Adventure therapy (AT) interventions are being integrated with evidence-based treatment models for a variety of clients, including adolescents and young adults, for a wide range of presenting symptomology, including substance use disorders (SUD). Though some studies have explored longer term outcomes, little is known about the posttreatment experiences of clients. Clients from a 90-day AT treatment program were contacted approximately posttreatment and asked to assess their general well-being and current relationship with substance use. Results showed that clients were doing well evidenced by OQ-45 scores that were statistically similar at the discharge and follow-up period (t (92) = −1.693, p < .09; Cohen’s d = −.180). Clients also showed statistically significant increases in mindfulness skills. Results also showed that 70.8% of the participants indicated that they did relapse, while 29.2% indicated they did not. Of those that relapsed, 73.8% indicated the relapse was “severe,” while 26.3% believed their relapse was “not severe.” Clients reflected favorably on their treatment experience and desired more structured aftercare opportunities posttreatment. Implications for professional practice and research include the need to advance perspectives of recovery and develop aftercare support systems that can aid clients in the recovery process.

探索青少年成瘾治疗项目完成后的护理经验和幸福感

冒险疗法(AT)干预措施正在与基于证据的治疗模式相结合，用于各种客户，包括青少年和年轻人，用于各种症状，包括物质使用障碍(SUD)。虽然一些研究已经探索了长期的结果，但对客户的治疗后体验知之甚少。在90天的AT治疗项目中，大约在治疗后与客户联系，并要求评估他们的总体健康状况和目前与药物使用的关系。结果显示，出院时和随访时，患者的q -45评分均表现良好，差异有统计学意义(t (92) = - 1.693, p < .09;Cohen’s d = - 0.180)。客户在正念技能方面也有统计学上的显著提高。结果还显示，70.8%的参与者表示他们有复发，29.2%的参与者表示他们没有复发。在复发的人中，73.8%的人认为复发“严重”，而26.3%的人认为他们的复发“不严重”。客户对他们的治疗经验反映良好，并希望在治疗后获得更有条理的护理机会。对专业实践和研究的启示包括需要推进康复的观点，并开发能够在康复过程中帮助客户的善后支持系统。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
