Factors Associated with Unplanned Early Discharges from a Dual Diagnosis Inpatient Detoxification Unit in Israel

Abstract

Israel's single official dual diagnosis detox inpatient unit has satisfactory annual program completion rates when compared to similar institutions. A suboptimal treatment regimen may contribute to the early discharge of patients with polysubstance use and diagnosed personality disorders. An association between early discharges and a disability pension warrant further investigation, as there is no apparent connection between the two.
