Behavioral, not self-reported, experiential avoidance predicts early treatment discontinuation at residential substance use treatment

WWWenyue WangDMDennis E. McChargueBKBilal Khan

Key Points

  • Early treatment discontinuation correlates with behavioral rather than self-reported experiential avoidance.
  • Key evidence shows that measures of experiential avoidance better predict retention than self-report assessments.
  • Assessments highlighted the importance of behavioral measures, emphasizing their role in addressing treatment discontinuation.
  • Improving strategies based on these findings may significantly enhance treatment retention outcomes.

Abstract

Behavioral measures might provide a more proximal measure of EA than self-report. Treating EA may help improve treatment retention. More research is needed to extend the current findings and clarify the mechanisms.
