Answer:

D. The length of time spent in treatment is the single best predictor of a successful outcome

Step-by-step explanation:

The success of a treatment is correlated to the length of the treatment period, which is the time spent in treatment

The longer the episode of treatment the increases in the probability of a successful outcome, than the outcome probability obtained in a short period or length of treatment time.

The quality of the treatment program and the candidate motivation are usually related to the retention rates of candidates in a program.
