Abstract/Summary

This study determined the effectiveness of the New Beginnings Foundation's Primary Residential Treatment Program. It is a product evaluation of the program using the case approach. Four respondents were chosen by convenient sampling from the clients of the New Beginnings Foundation. The researchers sought to determine the effectiveness of the program in improving the drug user's relationship with himself, his family, and his friends. Activities engaged in case of relapse and factors that contributed to the treatments' successes were also considered. Data was gathered through the administration of pretests and posttests and the use of an interview schedule. The instrument used in evaluating the effectiveness of the program was the Heston Personal Adjustment Inventory. Results indicate that the NBF drug rehabilitation program can arrest chemical dependency and improve the relationship of drug users with themselves, their families, and their friends. The combined efforts of the individual, family, and drug rehabilitation programs are necessary for effective treatment of the chemical dependent.
