| Popis: | The effect of multiple family therapy on client compliance and retention in a high intervention, naltrexone treatment program was examined retrospectively. The population consisted of 65 opiate-dependent individuals consecutively treated with naltrexone and a standard program of counseling and supportive psychotherapy. Twenty-five of these individuals, in addition, received multiple family therapy. The data presented are suggestive of the efficacy of combining multiple family therapy and high intervention in patients being treated with naltrexone. Analysis of the data demonstrated that the group receiving multiple family therapy had a larger continuous time of naltrexone ingestion and remained in the treament program longer than clients who did not receive multiple family therapy. These effects were independent of race and employment status. The implication of the results for treatment and avenues for future research are discussed. |
