Mental Health and Engagement Outcomes for a UK Addiction TC: The Ley Community
Mark Freestone and Paul Goodman
ABSTRACT: This paper considers outcomes data from the Association of Therapeutic Communities' research project relating to the Ley Community, a therapeutic community (TC) for the treatment of drug addictions located near Oxford, UK. A total sample of 150 clients were recruited into the study from the community, 49 of whom were in treatment at the commencement of the study (the 'baseline' sample) and 101 of whom began treatment after commencement (the 'sequential' sample). The sample populations are described in terms of basic demographics, presenting psychopathology and presence of personality disorder. Longitudinal outcomes data is then considered relating to length of stay and change in psychopathology. Broad conclusions are then drawn about the effectiveness of the Ley Community as an intervention for clients with complex needs.
