Therapeutic Communities for the Treatment of Drug Users

Written by academics and practitioners from around the world, this is a comprehensive overview of the development of therapeutic communities and their benefits in the treatment of drug users. Contributors describe hoe the model operates in the community, and how it has been modified over time to fit different settings, different types of client and different referral requirements. Illustrated by discriptions of staff and client experiences, this book also provides an inside view of how this sort of therapeutic community actually operates.
