Abstract:
A wealth of empirical evidence has shown that treatment readiness is a key predictor of success for individuals receiving substance abuse treatment both within and outside of the criminal justice system. Treatment Process Model—recognize readiness or preparedness as key components of the change process.

The present piece details the necessary components of such a model.Keywords: treatment readiness; best practices
