“…The study participants entered the TC with high scores in impulsivity, and the results demonstrate that self-reported impulsivity decreased in subjects who completed nine months of the program. This finding supports the claims by TC proponents that TC treatment is effective in developing coping skills in substance abusers (20).

“…This could be explained by either the possibility that male residents at the TC report higher levels of distress than males in other settings or that female residents at the TC report lower levels of distress compared with females in other settings. In a study that examined changes in psychopathology amongst women treated in a therapeutic community, Schinka et al 24 suggested that TC treatment result in substantial positive effects on measures of depression and anxiety. The TC approach encourages men and women to assume the same work roles and levels of responsibility in the community irrespective of gender.…”
