  • Title: Reducing waiting time for substance abuse treatment does not reduce attrition.
    Author: Alterman AI, Bedrick J, Howden D, Maany I.
    Journal: J Subst Abuse; 1994; 6(3):325-32. PubMed ID: 7703709.
    Abstract:
    Attrition rates from substance abuse treatment are high. In an attempt to cut down on the attrition rate in our clinic we instituted an "Orientation Group" to cut down on the time patients spent waiting to enter treatment. An evaluation of the results of this intervention reveals that contrary to the impressions of the clinical staff, the attrition rate was not reduced.
