The Recovery Attitude and Treatment Evaluator–Clinical Evaluation (RAATE–CE) assesses resistance and impediments to addiction treatment participation. The authors conducted a preliminary test of the RAATE–CE's predictive validity. Addiction counselors conducted RAATE–CE assessments on 220 adults who were newly admitted to a hospital detoxification unit. Relationships between scores and disposition were examined using analysis of variance. All RAATE–CE dimensions show significant associations with subsequent treatment placements in the expected directions. Preliminary findings of predictive validity warrant further research on the RAATE–CE for clinical research and treatment planning.
