| Abstract: | Although many Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)-funded projects have employed follow-ups of patients in their evaluation, post-treatment follow-up periods generally have not exceeded twelve months, so that longer term treatment benefits have not been established. Longer-term studies offer the advantage not only of determining effectiveness over a period of several years, but also the opportunity to examine the natural history of a chronic, relapsing disorder after an index treatment episode. CSAT plans to examine the clinical impact and costs of treatment for up to thirty-six months through a family of studies examining the generalized long-term effects of treatment across a range of CSAT program areas, treatment modalities, and patient characteristics, and the specific effects associated with the use of alcohol and other drugs and various treatment delivery systems. Examination of costs relative to treatment outcomes will be integral to all studies. The purpose of PETS is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness (up to thirty-six months) of substance abuse treatment services provided through a series of CSAT grants and cooperative agreements, and to conduct a number of special studies and policy analyses that address specific drugs of abuse, methods of treatment, populations, or policy issues. The primary follow-up studies will involve obtaining information at selected follow-up periods for persons who have completed the index treatment episode and for whom historical, intake, and treatment exit data are available. |
