title: Factors which differentiate cocaine users in treatment from nontreatment users.
abstract: This study compares a sample of cocaine users in drug treatment programs to a sample of cocaine users not in treatment. These samples were compared on: (1) level of cocaine use, (2) consequences of user, (3) employment, (4) social support system, and (5) criminal behavior. These attributes were related to being in treatment. Among intermediate-level cocaine users, friendship patterns, employment, and criminal history were associated with treatment status. The implications for the treatment of cocaine use are addressed.
