目前很少有实证研究的动机和准备对不同群体的药物滥用者的治疗效果。在本研究中，CMRS量表被用来评估的动机和准备的一个大样本的初级酒精，大麻，海洛因，可卡因和快克可卡因滥用者承认一个长期的住宅治疗社区的治疗。研究结果表明，在整体保留或初始动机和准备很少显着差异。初始动机和准备分数持续作为在大多数群体的短期保留治疗的显着预测。研究结果支持TC的观点，即药物滥用问题是人，而不是药物的选择，并与以前的研究强调动态的重要性，而不是固定的变量作为保留的决定因素是一致的。
There is currently little empirical research on the effect of motivation and readiness on the treatment of different groups of substance abusers. In the present study, the CMRS scales are used to assess motivation and readiness for treatment of a large sample of primary alcohol, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine abusers admitted to a long-term residential therapeutic community. Findings show few significant differences in overall retention or initial motivation and readiness. Initial motivation and readiness scores persist as significant predictors of short-term retention in treatment across most groups. Findings support the TC perspective that the substance abuse problem is the person, not the drug of choice, and are consistent with prior research emphasizing the importance of dynamic rather than fixed variables as determinants of retention.
