Abstract
Materials and methods The sample included 90 male participants (64 of which completed follow-up) and seven counselor participants (i.e., four females and three males) from communitybased treatment in a Midwestern metropolitan area. Hierarchical linear modeling was conducted to examine the influence of victimization and violence history, psychiatric disorders (i.e., anxiety, depression), social functioning (i.e., social support, self-esteem), drug use severity, and treatment motivation on treatment satisfaction and progress after controlling for counselor-level variances. Hierarchical linear modeling also was employed to test the mediation of treatment satisfaction on the relationship between client-level factors and treatment progress.
Highlights
The current study used a multilevel modeling technique to examine the influence of client-level factors and counselor-level variance on treatment satisfaction and progress for offenders referred to community-based drug addiction treatment
Results indicated that higher levels of anxiety and depression were associated with a lower level of treatment satisfaction, and more social support was associated with increased satisfaction
Despite the non-significant relationship between treatment motivation and satisfaction, the influence of treatment motivation on treatment satisfaction was different across counselors
Summary
