Benchmarking client outcomes within residential substance abuse treatment [PK&FD1]
The Lake Macquarie Recovery Service Centre (LMRSC) is a large Salvation Army residential drug and alcohol treatment facility (104 beds). It provides both standard substance abuse treatment and specialist services for people diagnosed with co-morbid mental health and substance abuse problems. The University of Wollongong has a Rotary Health grant to review aspects of the program. The current study will use archival data examining client progress during their stay in the program (N = 200) and 3-months follow-up post treatment. The research will focus on benchmarking the LMRSC against other substance abuse treatment services, using both statistical and clinically significant change.

Outcomes for people attending residential substance abuse detoxification programs [PK&FD2]
The Salvation Army operates a series of detoxification services (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney) that are 7-days in length. The University has been funded to examine treatment outcomes for the patients that attend these units. The research will involve the comparison of clients with amphetamine dependence to individuals with alcohol dependence. This will occur both within treatment (e.g. levels of cravings, levels of agitation)and 7-days post treatment (e.g. drug use, accessing further treatment.
