- W596276564 abstract "Previous research examining the risk factors associated with alcohol and other drug use has primarily focused on the adult population. Few studies have investigated the factors which influence adolescent substance abuse and the respective effects on treatment outcome. This in spite of the considerable decline in the age-of-onset for problematic substance use that could, if gone untreated, escalate into dependence and a variety of other interpersonal problems which extend across the lifespan. Effective interventions targeting the adolescent population would therefore seem to be of utmost importance to both researchers and clinicians. It has been suggested that individualized treatment programs focusing on the unique risk factors and needs of each client are paramount to the achievement of favorable treatment outcomes. Previous studies have focused on school populations and community samples with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention. The present study sought to examine the characteristics related to treatment outcome with a small sample of adolescents who had been admitted to a residential substance abuse program in rural Illinois to delineate the relationship between factors such as length of time in treatment, involvement with the judicial system, referral source, comorbid psychological problems and treatment outcome/retention. Significant differences were found between those adolescent clients who completed the program successfully and those who were unsuccessfully discharged or left against staff advice based on length of time spent in treatment. However, anticipated relationships between referral source, involvement with the legal system, comorbid psychiatric diagnoses and discharge status were not substantiated. Suggestions for future research are discussed. Acknowledgement I would like to express my appreciation to CEAD Council for allowing me to conduct research using archival data from the Adolescent Residential Treatment Program. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Pamela Irwin, Executive Director of CEAD Council, for her expertise and assistance in presenting the research proposal to the Board of Directors and Patrick Edwards for his assistance in the data collection process. I also appreciate all the support of my coworkers at ART. I would like to thank Dr. William Kirk not only for his guidance and support as Thesis Chair, but also for his willingness to listen, empathize, advise, and encourage me throughout the last two years. He has impacted my life more than he will ever know. I would also like to thank Dr. William Bailey for his persistent hours dedicated to analyzing data and offering his expertise so that this project could be made possible. My gratitude is further offered to Marjorie Hanft-Martone for serving on my committee and providing helpful recommendations. Thank you to my classmates, who without their unconditional support I could not have made it through the last two years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, grandmother, and brother for the support and encouragement they have provided unconditionally which has given me the strength and confidence to achieve more than I ever thought I could. I am grateful for my significant other, Kyle, for his patience, support, and understanding during these last two challenging years. Last, but certainly not least, I thank my best friend Suzanne who has supported, encouraged, and believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. You are the wind beneath my wings.
