The 43 participants that were selected for this study were chosen from a residential drug rehabilitation center that required the participants to meet certain criteria for the study. Once the participants were selected they were then divided into one of two treatment groups, FT or ADC, randomly (2004). Once the treatment groups were selected then the participants were provided with sufficient detail of the study. The researches explained throughout the article the premise of FT and how it could potentially affect rehabilitation of individuals.
