Accountability in public short-term adult AOD residential treatment. Fontainebleau Treatment Center.
Fontainebleau Treatment Center provides short-term public residential AOD treatment and primary health care to a lower-socioeconomic adult population. The multimodal focus of treatment includes interactive group therapy, behavioral contracting, relapse prevention, and 12-step involvement. Research funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicated both positive treatment outcome and significant cost efficacy. These results may be in some contrast to prevailing assumptions about public sector, government-operated behavioral health-care delivery to high-risk populations. Multiple variables for consideration in future outcome research are discussed, with potential for database inclusion toward standardization of treatment and cost protocols.
