Abstract: Although past work connects personal factors to substance abuse treatment retention, most studies have been atheoretical. The current work specifically examines impulsivity/low self-control and retention in substance abuse treatment using the General Theory of Crime (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990) which anticipates a relationship between intake scores and retention.
