KENTUCKY SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT OUTCOME STUDY
FY 2006 FOLLOW-UP FINDINGS


This report summarizes fiscal year 2006 KTOS findings regarding the outcomes of substance abuse treatment in Kentucky. Unlike most studies of treatment effectiveness, the KTOS study examines the outcomes of treatment as it is provided in community practice. That is, the treatment providers are not instructed to use a specific intervention or clinical approach and the services include a wide array of outpatient, intensive outpatient and residential types.

Data are collected at intake and a sample of former clients was interviewed by research staff at CDAR 12 months after the intake interviews. This report includes follow-up data on a sample of 906 substance abuse treatment clients in Kentucky who consented to participate and who had been in treatment between July 2005 and June 2006. There was a follow-up rate of 65.3%.
