Abstract
AIM: To identify and specify the structure and the elements of a quality framework for addiction treatment programs. METHOD: Concept mapping strategy was applied. In brainstorm sessions, 70 statements were generated and rated by 90 representatives of three stakeholder groups. Using multivariate statistical analyses, the statements were positioned on a map. RESULTS: Two dimensions 'Best Practice' and 'Performance' and nine clusters were identified. The three most important clusters were 'Attitude of staff', 'Client orientation' and 'Treatment practice'. The most important statement was effectiveness. CONCLUSION: The specific quality framework identified has some similarity with existing non-specific frameworks.
