ASSUMPTIONS• Some fixed amount or duration of
treatment will resolve the problem
• Clinical efforts put toward correctly placing patients and getting them to complete treatment
• Evaluation of effectiveness should occur following completion
– Poor outcome means failure

In Chronic Illnesses….1 – There is no Cure - the effects of treatment do not last very long after care stops
2 – Patients who are out of contact are at elevated risk for relapse: Retention is essential
![Page 20: Healthcare Reform The “Affordable Care Act” How Will It Affect Substance Abuse Care?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e665503460f94b60b15/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In Chronic Illnesses….3 – Early, intensive stages prepare patients for less intensive care:
– ultimately Self-Management
4 - Evaluation is a clinical duty:Good function = continue care
Poor function = change care
