Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Identification of characteristics that predict entry into substance abuse treatment programs may facilitate efforts to make effective programs more attractive to people who could benefit from them. We examined dispositional hope as a predictor of entering a voluntary substance abuse treatment program for federal prison inmates. Controlling statistically for demographics, comorbid diagnoses, and drug-use history, increased hope was associated with lower probability of entering treatment. Discussion focused on the possibility that in the context of incarceration and substance abuse, high levels of hope may serve as a marker of excessive self reliance and underestimation of the need for professional treatment.
