Understand and learn how to effectively address the burgeoning social problem of homelessness, particularly among alcoholics and drug addicts. Although one study cannot provide a definitive statement on the best services for the homeless, the variety of services and evaluation approaches described in this insightful book begin the process of identifying effective recovery approaches for homeless men and women with alcohol and drug problems. Professionals involved in the development and implementation of nine community demonstration grants in Alaska, California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania reflect upon the unique needs and opportunities in their communities and explain the features of their programs in regards to clients, project services, project implementation, and evaluation.In Treating Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Among Homeless Men and Women, you will read about specially targeted programs for women, Alaskan natives, American Indians, blacks, and Hispanics, homeless individuals with mental illness, clients who use both drugs and alcohol, chronic alcoholics, and cocaine addicts. You will also observe the varying philosophical and programmatic differences; the problems of implementing programs, including community resistance and staffing issues; and the procedures for assessing the outcome of their programs. In addition to a comprehensive review of each project, this exciting new volume also includes an overview of the efforts of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism with the homeless and implications for future policy and programming decisions. An important book for health care providers, program administrators, state and local officials, researchers, and educators.
