Depth Interviews

The many purposes of this article is to understand the role and value of case management from the perspective of program directors, case managers and clients. A survey of program directors from publicly funded substance abuse treatment programs in Boston was administered, and in-depth interviews with a sample of program directors, case managers, and clients were conducted. Case management allowed programs to serve more complex clients and increased time available for counselors to focus on the clinical needs of clients. From the perspective of case managers and clients, much of the value of case management came from educating clients about steps they could take to meet their needs and then supporting them in their efforts as they took these steps. Successful steps taken to deal with these needs helped lay the foundation necessary to confront the challenges of treatment. Program directors, case managers, and clients considered case management a valuable enhancement to substance abuse treatment.

Abuse Treatment

This investigation involved a first-attempt at modeling long-term treatment and work trajectories in a large, urban sample of individuals in publicly funded substance abuse treatment: (a) determining the demographic factors that predicted work patterns and (b) examining the longitudinal relationship between work status and continued treatment, persistent drug use, and psychological problems investigated work status across three years. Mixed-effects regression models revealed that significantly more participants were working and looking for work at each follow-up. Gains in labor force participation were greatest at six months while gains in employment were greatest at 24 months. Several demographic variables predicted later work status including age, gender, living arrangement, occupational skills, and having children in foster care. Participants who continued treatment, continued to use drugs, or reported psychological problems were most likely to be out of the labor force. By far, the greatest barrier to long-term employment was continued drug use.
