Readmission to residential treatment is common and linked to both individual vulnerabilities and system-level factors. Strengthening protocols for alcohol and opioid use, enhancing coordination between detox and residential treatment, and targeting high-risk groups may reduce readmission. Interventions addressing non-completion of detox and delayed transitions could further reduce treatment readmission. This study uniquely examines readmission in relation to prior detoxification programs and clients' characteristics within a continuum-of-care framework.
