What is the client’s engagement and change during drug abuse treatment?

Welcome and cheers.

Thank a million.

Client engagement and change during drug abuse treatment are critical for achieving positive outcomes. Engagement involves the client's active participation in treatment, which is linked to improved behavioral and psychosocial functioning. Factors influencing engagement include the perceived utility of treatment, the quality of the client-counselor relationship, and the therapeutic approach used.

Research indicates that higher attendance in counseling sessions during the initial treatment phase correlates with significant improvements in clients' behaviors and perceptions of their treatment experiences. Additionally, client motivation and the therapeutic focus in early sessions are strong predictors of continued engagement and subsequent positive changes in drug use patterns.
