  • Among clients discharged from intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment, men were more likely than women to complete treatment or be transferred for further treatment to another program or facility.
  • Among clients discharged from long term residential substance abuse treatment, women were more likely than men to complete treatment or be transferred for further treatment to another program or facility.
  • Clients referred by the criminal justice system were 58% more likely to complete outpatient treatment or be transferred for further treatment than clients from any other referral source.
