Organizational Correlates of Service Availability in Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Abstract  

In pursuit of quality care for drug abuse treatment programs, researchers continue to monitor program characteristics related
to service provision. The current study examines 115 outpatient drug-free programs in four U.S. regions and documents typical
methods of offering an array of services and the relationship between program characteristics and services offered onsite
and by referral. Core services (e.g., comprehensive assessments) are offered primarily onsite, whereas delivery methods of
wraparound services are mixed with transitional services offered generally onsite and medical services traditionally offered
offsite. Accredited programs offered more core services onsite, while those providing case management offered more core and
wraparound services onsite. Programs with a higher proportion of dually diagnosed clients offered more core services onsite
and fewer wraparound services by referral. Programs with a higher concentration of criminal justice-referred clients offered
fewer core services onsite. These findings suggest ways of improving access to services.
