An estimated 102 individuals began a 28-day substance-use disorder (SUD) residential treatment program and were assigned to receive the standard treatment (STX) or STX plus attendance contracting and promoting (CP). CP participants showed fewer subsequent hospitalization days, lower hospitalization costs, greater improvement in alcohol problem scores, and lower legal problem scores at a 3-month follow-up than the STX group.
