  • Title: Childhood abuse as a factor in attrition from drug rehabilitation.
    Author: Palmer JA, Palmer LK, Williamson D.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1995 Jun; 76(3 Pt 1):879-82. PubMed ID: 7568605.
    Abstract:
    The following factors were examined as possible influences of clients' attrition from inpatient and outpatient drug-rehabilitation programs: depression (Center of Epidemiological Studies-Depression test), attributional style (Attributional Style Questionnaire), primary drug of choice, family incidence of substance abuse, and history of childhood physical abuse. A step-wise regression analysis indicated that a history of childhood abuse was a statistically reliable predictor of program noncompletion for 92 substance abusers who entered a drug-rehabilitation program.
