title: MAIA project: software for the management of toxicodependence treatment process.
abstract: This chapter reviews the importance of information management in a therapeutic community, how to select the data collected by the interview and features of the software and its fitting in an operative context. New sections are projected to help staff who diagnose treatment candidates and treat patients. Use of statistical analysis as an instrument for management of therapeutic communities is based on the experience of "Centro Solidarietà di Modena". Some examples are included on the population of "Centro Solidarietà di Modena". Artificial neural networks have a viable role for treatment (primary, secondary and tertiary).
