4. Effectiveness of Interventions 1 Research Findings Empirical studies evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions, noting which approaches yield the best outcomes. 2 Comparative Studies Research compares different intervention modalities, such as inpatient vs. outpatient treatment. 3 Longitudinal Studies Longitudinal studies track clients over extended periods to assess the sustainability of recovery and relapse rates.

5. 1.3 Review of Literature 1.3.1 Elaborative Review on Key Concepts Substance Abuse explores what constitutes substance abuse, including criteria from diagnostic manuals (e.g., DSM-5).
