OUR MISSION
The Addiction Research Foundation’s mission is to conduct and support research that improves treatment outcomes for persons with substance abuse disorders.Formed in August 2013, the Foundation strives to accomplish its mission through:
• Retrospective analysis of treated populations• Prospective and longitudinal study of treated populations• Development and testing of new assessment tools• Publication and dissemination of relevant results
The Foundation is privately funded. To avoid any real or perceived conflicts of interest, the Foundation does not accept donations or support from the addiction treatment industry, pharmaceutical industry, or related associations.
Addiction Research Foundation seeks to improve treatment outcomes with the primary goal of improving post-treatment quality of life through long-term outcomes research. Foundation research staff conducted a literature review that identified gaps in current research related to addiction treatment outcomes. Current Foundation research projects are designed to address those research gaps.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The study seeks to answer the following primary research questions:
1. What are facilitators and barriers to patient completion of inpatient treatment programs?
2. What is the extent of discharge/recovery plans generally, and what aspects of discharge/recovery plans play a significant role in changing substance use and improved quality of life?
3. What psychological factors play a role in positive treatment outcomes?
FUTURE RESEARCHThe Foundation will use a brief survey to collect stories from adults who have improved their lives through their change of substance use. The survey will be available to the general public and promoted through our website and other social media outlets. If you are interested in being notified when the survey is available, please join our announcement list.
