Acute treatment after-care in the form of sober-living environments-i.e., recovery houses-provides many opportunities for recovering individuals to acquire such support. However, like most recovery settings, recovery homes do not work for everyone. The current study was based on a longitudinal study of 602 Oxford House residents of which this study focused on 155 who at their first assessment, or baseline, had been in residence for 2 months or less, and we tracked them over time to see how long they remained in the recovery homes. For new residents who had only been in the recovery homes for 1/2 weeks, the ultimate rate of departure was about 40%. However, for residents with 2 weeks of time during the first assessment, the rate of departure fell to about 31%. By the time a resident had 6 weeks of residence in the recovery homes, the hazard for leaving the homes had dropped to about 25%. In conclusion, the hazard of leaving the home over time dropped off rapidly as time in residence accumulated. In addition, having an important person from the recovery home in one's social network predicted lower hazard rates, given accumulated time in residence. The study indicates that the first few weeks in recovery homes are particularly vulnerable times for residents to leave prematurely, so more efforts are needed to better understand why some residents are able to maintain residency during these critical first weeks in these settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":45598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions","volume":" ","pages":"406-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11658391/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46006934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the clinician–client interactions inherent in treatment, understanding clinician influence on treatment outcomes is important. Utilizing clinical data mining, we used existing data from the clinical files of 444 clients who received substance use day treatment. Using multinomial logistic regression and linear regression, we examined whether and which client strengths and weaknesses perceived and recorded by clinicians during a client’s assessment predict client engagement and treatment completion. The results showed that willingness to seek treatment and outside support increased the likelihood of completing treatment, while financial support decreased it. We also found that clinician perceptions of a client’s inability to benefit from treatment predicted low levels of engagement in treatment. We then discuss implications for social work of this study.KEYWORDS: Clinical data miningdischargeengagementstrengthssubstance use treatmentweaknesses Disclosure statementDuring the time of data collection and for a short time afterward, the second author was paid by the organization where the data came from to provide clinical supervision and to consult on occasion.
