Abstract
The authors examined factors that influenced the employment rates of 529 ve terans with severe alcohol and other substance use disorders who were being treated at an addictions partial hospitalization program. The employment r ate was significantly higher for veterans who completed the hospitalization program, participated in a Veterans Industries work-for-pay program, and r eceived drug-free supportive housing.
