Abstract
This study primarily investigated factors which impact abstaining from drugs for adolescent men after finishing treatment at a specific treatment center in Sweden. The method chosen for this essay was quantitative, using surveys sent to males that finished a treatment period of a minimum time of 4 months at this therapeutic community. Of the 83 questionnaires that were originally sent, 23 responded. Further, the empirical data was tested in the computer program SPSS using gamma and lambda tests obtaining results for the factors to determine whether they correlated with one another other. The essay is based upon the theoretical framework of the salutogenic perspective, systems theory and therapeutic alliance theory. During this study results showed that factors such as relocation, post treatment programs were effective for the dis-continued use of drugs.
