Improving the transition from residential to outpatient addiction treatment : gender differences in response to supportive telephone calls . Substance use relapse rates are often high in the first months after discharge from inpatient substance abuse treatment , and patient adherence to aftercare plans is often low . Four residential addiction treatment centers participated in a feasibility study designed to estimate the efficacy of a post-discharge telephone intervention intended to encourage compliance with aftercare . A total of 282 participants ( 100 women , 182 men ) with substance use disorders were included in this secondary analysis . The findings revealed that women were more likely than men to attend aftercare . This " gender effect " persisted after adjustment for a number of potential mediators .
