There is no treatment plan that will work for every individual; similarly, there is not one treatment environment that will be successful for every individual either. “Recognizing that substance abuse is a chronic disorder similar to diabetes, hypertension, and asthma led the panel to question the acute care model of service delivery that has characterized substance abuse treatment for the past 50 years” (McLellan et al. 2000).

This study was actually the qualitative portion of a larger study conducted on MAT treatment options that was called the Treatment Options Study (TOP). This particular study specifically targeted the qualitative data gathered from TOP through semi-structured interviews. The study itself focused on clients’ previous experiences with MAT, either methadone or buprenorphine. It also explored three fundamental questions regarding MAT: “client comparisons between methadone and buprenorphine, interactions with clinicians about treatment options, choices participants made about [MAT],” (Yarborough et al., 2016, p. 113). The overall outcomes of the study showed that increased access to treatment options, such as MAT, promotes the chances of client participation in substance abuse treatment.

As far back as 5000 B.C. there is evidence that mental illnesses were treated with skull drillings. This is only one of the many treatment methods that were used on mental illness patients. Electroshock therapy, exorcisms, and lobotomies were also very common treatments for mentally ill patients. With today’s knowledge and technology, it is clear that not only are these treatments ineffective, but harmful to the patients. By the early 1920’s most of the problematic treatments had been abolished. In 1952, the same year that the DSM was published, E. Brunswick published The Conceptual Framework of Psychology. Also in 1952 many psychology societies and associations were established all around the world. As positive as that was, there is still
