A Client Who Was Highly Motivated to Overcome Her Addiction

A client who was highly motivated to overcome her addiction to heroin went through a methadone treatment program and residential treatment for six months. After a year of living on her own and attending Narcotics Anonymous, she has remained drug-free. What probably helped her the most?

A) The structure of the residential treatment, which prevented her from relapsing and conditioned her behavior after she moved out
B) Her participation in a mutual-help support group, because maintenance after leaving the facility would have been impossible without attending
C) Her personal characteristic of being highly motivated, which helped her follow the professional guidance given to her and let her receive the needed help
D) The length of stay at the residential facility, because studies show success occurs after three months of residential treatment
