Treatment for the patient with acute behavioral-emotional and chemical dependency problems: an analysis of outcome in an intensive residential program.
Data were collected from a study of 28 patients in 1988 and 18 patients in 1989 admitted into Camelback Vista Treatment Center. Camelback Vista is a free-standing 64-bed residential center under Camelback Behavioral Health Services in Phoenix, Arizona. The tool used in this study was the Camelback Vista Self Assessment and Management Scale. This scale was specifically designed to provide a monitoring tool for a more acute patient population than has been treated in residential settings in the past. The 1988 study cited improvement in 72% of the patients studied. The 1989 study cited improvement in 78%. Both studies monitored four areas: personal skills, social skills, financial skills, and emotional skills.
