A question of utmost importance

A question of utmost importance

When considering an addiction treatment program, a question that often comes to mind is, “What is the measure of success?” This is a question of utmost importance, but also one that requires careful consideration. Fortunately, there are ways to find answers, and the first step is to define what we mean by “success.”

The definition of "success" in drug rehab can be highly subjective, varying among individuals, families, and healthcare professionals. Many organizations promote their "drug rehab success rates" without a clear definition of what constitutes success or employing rigorously scientific methods for evidence-based evaluations. Committed to setting a higher standard, the initiative emphasizes a comprehensive definition that appeals to a broad audience and insists on actionable steps. It requires both qualitative and quantitative assessments to measure success, ensuring that the processes are transparent, clear, and simple for both staff and clients to follow.

“Our rehab centre defines success as the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal”

Sobriety serves as the primary objective for every individual entering the program, but at the Canadian Centre for Addictions, the broader spectrum of goals set by clients during their recovery journey is equally acknowledged. The treatment team focused on achieving favorable rehab success rate statistics. It is committed to providing personalized care, carefully listening to each client’s unique needs, and adapting its professional services to meet these specific requirements.

Creating the evidence-based method

Our addiction recovery center, the Canadian Centre for Addictions, has developed a rigorous, scientific, and evidence-based methodology to measure the effectiveness and success of our programs quantitatively.

This achievement was made possible by engaging a registered psychologist with expertise in program evaluation and statistical analysis. Beginning in 2018, we collaborated with Dr. Jonathan Siegel, a psychologist skilled in these areas, to standardize a process that would provide an effective, evidence-based measure of program effectiveness.

Through multiple iterations of rigorous testing, which included measuring factors like Anxiety and Depression and surveying self-reported symptoms at the start of addiction treatment, Dr. Siegel and his team analyzed various standard inventories and collected data until they pinpointed the most effective tool for measuring both program effectiveness and individual as well as cumulative success rates.

These statistical reports are made available to every resident who completes an inpatient residential addiction program at our center. With client consent and confidentiality agreements in place, we have been able to collect clinically relevant data and subject it to rigorous scientific statistical analysis, further enhancing our understanding of treatment outcomes.

The Rehabilitation Wellness Inventory

for Addictions Success Rate

Over a three-year period analyzing collected data, Dr Siegel and associates developed an inventory called the Rehabilitation Wellness Inventory (RWI). This inventory is administered at the beginning and the completion of programming.

The inventory consists of fifty items, a validity scale, as well as five subscales (and a total score). The items are targeted to identify those issues and factors that have the greatest impact towards influencing the success of those suffering from issues of addiction.

Evidence-based research and statistical analysis over a 2-years period demonstrated that 95.6%

Of all residents who completed the rehab's addiction program made significant

Statistical analyses utilized a repeated measures 't' test for normally distributed data and a Wilcoxon parametric test for data not normally distributed. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed.

Notably, it takes residents a maximum of 10 minutes to complete the RWI (Recovery Wellness Index), which adheres to scientific standards for reliability with a coefficient alpha over 0.90.

The RWI has been automated to allow real-time generation of reports, providing essential data for treatment planning at both the onset and discharge phases. In addition to qualitative data gathered by treatment staff, standardized, objective data is now available to assess the rehab success rate and program effectiveness.
