Abuse Treatment

Follow-up interview data for 1,155 opioid addicts, based on a 4-year period after leaving community-based drug abuse treatment programs, showed that levels of employment and productive activities (a composite measure reflecting employment, school, and homemaking) were generally stable over time. Almost half of the males and females were involved in some type of productive activities in all 12 months of each year examined, and only about one-fourth reported no productive activities at all each year. As expected, males reported higher rates of employment and females were higher in homemaking activities. Employment was associated with lower opioid drug use and criminal involvement during the follow-up period, suggesting the need for continued support and development of community training and employment placement programs as part of a comprehensive treatment system for drug abusers.

This study examined the sex-role attitude of the drug abuse treatment counselor as a function of the sex of the counselor, the sex of the client, and the treatment approach (drug free versus methadone maintenance). Two versions of a stimulus vignette depicting a typical client, identical except for the sex of the client, were developed. Counselors rated this hypothetical client on an author developed Attitude Toward Addiction Scale. Findings indicated that: 1) male counselors viewed clients of both sexes more negatively than did female counselors; 2) male clients were viewed more negatively than female clients by counselors of both sexes; 3) counselors in drug free treatment programs viewed clients more negatively than did counselors in methadone maintenance programs; and 4) counselors with less education had more negative attitudes.
