This article assesses the relationship between the level of alcohol/substance abuse treatment services received and the employment outcomes in the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment and Support Act (ADATSA) program.  The study found that clients completing their course of treatment earned more than those who did not and that clients who completed vocational services and treatment earned more than those who completed treatment alone.
