A dramatic rise in the number of 'multi-problem' clients have forced community-based addiction treatment centers to answer some tough questions: How do you effectively treat record numbers of diverse and difficult clients? How do you tailor evidence-based interventions to a client's individual background involving possible incarceration, ongoing supervision, a history of trauma and a high risk of relapse? Moreover, how do practitioners work effectively within a society that stigmatizes drug users? Because the largest and fastest growing segment of the community-based addiction treatment population includes those who are mandated, this book addresses the task of 'making mandated addiction treatment work.' It is a practical guide for how to adapt and integrate evidence-based addiction treatments to create a unified treatment model, and a valuable tool for those in public health, criminal justice, and social welfare services.
