The purpose of this study is to examine the relative contribution and the relationships between formal(treatment related members)ㆍinformal(family members) concrete support and discharge disposition. A total of 172 women interviewed upon intake in one of 3 counties funded substance abuse treatment programs in Cleveland, Ohio. Hierarchical logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of formal concrete support and informal concrete support on the likelihood of a discharge disposition of completed treatment. Formal concrete support showed a statistically significant contribution to discharge disposition, while informal concrete support did not. Findings of this study highlight the importance of formal concrete support. Future research should continue to expand our knowledge of how support from formal treatment services interacts with support from informal(family) networks.
