In inpatient substance use disorder treatment in Switzerland, exercise programmes are implemented but not evaluated – A missed opportunity for improving treatment

Conclusion Exercise and sport programmes are integrated into the treatment plans of at least half of the identified inpatient substance use disorder treatment clinics in Switzerland; however, while participation in these programmes is often compulsory, their effects are not evaluated. There is an urgent need to develop an evaluation process for the potential effects of exercise participation on substance use-related outcomes.
