Personality profiles in substance use disorders: Do they differ in clinical symptomatology, personality disorders and coping?

Computerized self-report questionnaires were administered to 712 adult patients admitted to a specialized inpatient treatment program for SUDs. Based on cluster analysis we found three clusters: a “Resilient”, an “Anxious” and a “Reward Sensitive” cluster. The Anxious cluster showed the highest scores on each of the clinical symptoms, the Resilient cluster consistently displayed the lowest scores, and the Reward-Sensitive cluster generally scored in-between.
