Future Research Directions • Successful completion of the ATR program is only one method of defining outcomes; other studies are needed using a wider array of outcome measures • Studies are needed to explore the effect of various service combinations on client outcomes • Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the lasting effects of recovery support services on sustaining the process of recovery
