Abstract

This study examined methods for increasing transition of substance dependent patients from inpatient detoxification to outpatient aftercare. One hundred and ninety-six patients were randomly assigned to, (1) standard referral (standard); (2) standard referral with an incentive (incentive); or (3) staff escort from detoxification to aftercare with an incentive (escort + incentive). Incentives (worth USD 13.00) were dispensed for completing aftercare intake procedures on the day of discharge from detoxification. More escort + incentive participants (76%) than those in the incentive (44%) or standard conditions (24%) completed intake. The escort + incentive procedure may be useful for improving transition from detoxification to aftercare.
