Variables associated with success in an adolescent drug treatment program.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the variables that predicted success in an adolescent inpatient drug treatment program. The prognosis in 94 adolescent polydrug abusers was determined on the basis of the MMPI, the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory, Wechsler IQ, and historical variables. Favorable outcome was associated with being female, having fewer legal difficulties, fewer neurological risk factors, less pathological MMPI scores, higher Verbal IQ, and lower Performance IQ.
