AB  - BACKGROUND: Personality disorders (PD) are related to negative outcome in 
      substance abuse treatment, and in the general population, personality disorders 
      are related to negative outcome in overall functioning. Little is known about the 
      impact of PD on adjustment following substance abuse treatment. METHODS: A cohort 
      of 132 women was followed for 5 years after their index treatment episode in 
      compulsory treatment. During treatment, patients were assessed with the SCID-II. 
      At follow-up, patients were administered a timeline follow-back interview 
      covering their functioning, including employment status over the years, and 
      linked with hospital and criminal justice registers. RESULTS: The impact of PD on 
      functioning varied substantially between disorders and outcome domains. Conduct 
      disorder alone was associated with criminal justice involvement, and conduct 
      disorder and avoidant PD features were associated with unemployment. Dependent PD 
      and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder features were positively associated 
      with employment. Borderline PD features were associated with hospital admissions. 
      DISCUSSION: We discuss how strategies associated with various PDs may foster or 
      hinder social adjustment in general and employment patterns in particular.
