Abstract
Substance treatment programs are essential for addressing substance addiction issues. Several considerations may explain why completion rates are lower than predicted. Previous studies have emphasized the impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on treatment outcomes. However, there is insufficient research on utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms to predict adherence and discover trends in large datasets, particularly considering mental health concerns. The dataset was obtained from SAMHSA which contains extensive information on demographics, geography, education, employment, drug history, mental health status, and treatment outcomes. The study uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms to predict adherence to drug therapies, employing Random Forest and XGBoost models to identify significant characteristics influencing patient treatment completion. These models are quite accurate and could improve treatment outcomes through personalized methods. We investigated Random Forest and XGBoost models using cross-validation and several metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC. The Random Forest model achieved an accuracy of 85%, with a precision of 80%, recall of 82%, an F1-score of 81%, and an AUC-ROC score of 0.88. The XGBoost model performed even better, with an accuracy of 87%, precision of 82%, recall of 84%, an F1-score of 83%, and an AUC-ROC score of 0.90. Key predictors of treatment adherence included age, marital status, employment status, mental health status, and the number of previous treatment episodes. We also observed significant disparities in adherence rates among ethnic minorities and individuals with lower educational levels. The research shows that machine learning algorithms may accurately predict adherence to drug treatment programs. The identified predictors provide useful information for creating focused, individualized treatment methods. Future studies should use longitudinal data to evaluate post-treatment results and investigate other socioeconomic and psychological aspects. Healthcare practitioners may employ machine learning to enhance intervention efficacy, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the social impact of substance misuse.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
