Dually diagnosed inpatients' satisfaction with addiction groups.

Abstract

1. This clinical report presents evaluations from 50 hospitalized dually diagnosed patients of the Addiction Education Group, a part of the inpatient dual diagnosis treatment program. 2. Patient satisfaction with the group was evaluated using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, an eight-item tool that measures reported satisfaction with services. 3. Generally, the patients were able to focus on issues of recovery as a group, provide and receive feedback from each other, and perceive the experience as beneficial.
