Dr. Orrin Ware, Assistant Professor at UNC and UMSSW PhD alumni and colleagues (many from UMSSW - Drs. Paul Sacco, John Cagle, Jodi Frey, Fernando Wagner, Alexandra Wimberly) and others have a new paper published in Addictive Behavior Reports that explores the impact of perceived stress at admission on substance use disorder treatment (SUD) retention in short-term residential treatment. Using data from treatment records from an urban mid-Atlantic adult 28-day short-term residential SUD treatment facility, Ware et al. found that perceived stress at time of admission is associated with shorter treatment retention.
