Treatment career snapshots: profiles of first treatment and previous treatment clients

Article Abstract:

The population of clients of substance abuse recovery programmes who are vulnerable to a relapse is heterogeneous, according to research designed to identify the psychological profiles of substance abusers seeking help for the first time and those returning to treatment. Substance abusers returning to treatment are more severely affected overall by their addiction than those seeking help for the first time, and are more likely to have psychiatric difficulties. There is a need for further research into the processes that take place during the treatment career.
