Abstract

A combination of residential treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) and the cessation of drinking resulted in increased abstinence rates from drugs in general, a recent study of "situational factors" linked to abstinence from drugs has found. In addition, even for patients not in residential treatment, employment and the cessation of drinking were linked to increased abstinence rates. The patients in the study excluded those with alcohol use disorders (AUD). The study was conducted in Japan, where drug use is illegal and strictly enforced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
