Factors accounting for cocaine use two years following initiation of continuing care

Abstract

Continued self-help participation and the early achievement of cocaine abstinence appear to be important factors in the maintenance of good cocaine use outcomes over extended periods. The results also highlight the importance of controlling for various post-treatment factors when evaluating the relationship between any one factor and subsequent outcome, as many of the factors that were significant predictors in the univariate analyses were no longer significant when other factors were controlled.
