Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze changes if any in alcohol and drug abusing women from admission to discharge from an aftercare program. Sixty-nine women were admitted to three programs and 51 of them completed aftercare treatment. Of the women who did not complete aftercare treatment (n = 18), fourteen relapsed or did not successfully complete the program and were discharged, two were still in treatment, one was referred to treatment in another agency or could not be located, and one had an abusive partner who prevented her from continuing in the program. Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and sleep disturbance were reduced at discharge. Women's experiences of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse were significantly reduced at discharge and the number of women having custody of their children increased at discharge. Women's personal concerns about ability to raise their children, as well as those of others, were reduced at discharge.
