Increasing Attendance in Addiction Treatment With Limited Resources: A Narrative Review.

Treatment nonattendance frequently compromises client outcomes in psychosocial addiction treatment services. However, there is limited literature on strategies that increase attendance and retention without a significant resource burden on clinician or organization. This review of 13 studies describes strategies that do not financially reward clients for attendance or require more than 1 day of training/supervision to implement.

Evaluation of an online self-help version of the REACH forgiveness program: Outcomes and predictors of persistence in a community sample.

Objective: We evaluated outcomes of an online, self-directed REACH forgiveness intervention for community-based adults. Because many participants dropped out before program completion, predictors of program persistence were also examined.

Method: Participants (N = 130 adults, 122 female; mean age 48) completed pretreatment assessment and were randomized to immediate treatment (IT) or delayed treatment (DT).
