Abstract
Describes the impact of case management on substance abuse treatment clients' perceptions of family relationships, parental attitudes, and perceptions of partner abuse up to 12 months after treatment. Iowa Case Management Project (ICMP) for Rural Drug Abuse was a randomized clinical trial using a longitudinal design. Clients were recruited from the residential treatment program of a rural Midwestern substance abuse treatment agency and were randomly assigned to one of three experimental case management conditions, or to a control group. Results indicated that case management had an impact on family relationships and parental attitudes, but not on perceptions of partner abuse. The impact of case management was strongest 6 months after treatment initiation and was not evident 12 months after treatment. Analysis of subgroups revealed that the impact of case management on family relationships was better for persons over 30 than under 30, and the impact of case management on parental attitudes was better for persons who were employed rather than unemployed. The location of the case manager or use of a telecommunication system did not alter the effectiveness of case management. Targeted interventions may be needed to affect outcomes in different groups.
