本研究探讨了在治疗社区中接受治疗的吸毒者的治疗时间和治疗结果之间的关系。本研究中采用的治疗社区最近已由外部行政命令从6个月改为1个月的计划，但几乎没有发生其他变化。比较了22例接受6个月治疗的受试者和22例接受1个月治疗的受试者。6个月组有更多的受试者获得成功结局。这些结果支持先前的研究，将更长的治疗计划与更好的结果联系起来。
The present study examines the association between treatment length and treatment outcome among drug users treated in a therapeutic community. The therapeutic community employed in the present study recently had been changed from a 6-month to a 1-month program by external administrative mandate, but had undergone virtually no other changes. Twenty-two subjects who received 6 months of treatment and 22 who received 1 month were compared. The 6-month group had more subjects with successful outcome. These results support previous studies associating longer treatment programs with better outcome.
