The Ministry of the Solicitor General recognizes that alcohol and drug abuse is of serious concern to many Canadians. Nicotine addiction, alcoholism, and the non-medical use of drugs has damaged the well-being of many individuals in our society. Although the effects of alcohol and drug abuse are felt across all age groups, Canadian adolescents and young adults are particularly vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol and drug abuse. The damaging and wide-ranging effects of alcohol and drug abuse may extend beyond the individual abuser. Too often, alcohol and drug abuse are factors associated with criminal actions, which may result in harm, injury or loss to others.
Effective prevention and treatment involves cooperation between Canadian agencies specializing in drug and alcohol prevention and the community, including agencies such as schools, social service agencies, mental health agencies, the police, and others. Across Canada, police forces play an active role in the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse by children, youth, and young adults. In some cases, the police may be involved in preventive education programs. The police may also be called upon to consult with other community agencies and citizens about various alcohol and drug abuse prevention strategies and treatment options. And, in the course of duty, the police may also be asked to refer troubled persons to other community agencies and programs for help.
This inventory of drug prevention and treatment programs has been prepared by the Ministry of the Solicitor General to assist the police in carrying out their drug and alcohol prevention activities. This inventory will provide the user with an overview of current prevention and treatment programs available in North America. It emphasizes programs which either directly involve the police, or would be helpful to them in developing further programs, or in conducting consultations vvith other community agencies and citizens generally.
This inventory is available in two formats from the National Victims Resource Centre of the Ministry of the Solicitor General. The printed version (which you are reading) provides a complete listing of all programs stored in the inventory as of October, 1987. An electronic version of the inventory, stored in the National Victims Resource Centre's data base, is also available for customized searches (the procedure for this is explained on page 7). In addition to this inventory, the user should note that the National Victims' Resource Centre has prepared a resource guide to selected alcohol and drug prevention materials, titled, Assessing Materials on the Prevention of Drug Abuse. That document contains a more detailed discussion of drug abuse prevention and treatment trends than is presented here, and it provides an annotated listing of selected literature and audiovisual material on this topic.
TRENDS IN PREVENTION AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES
The positive contribution of prevention and treatment programs in reducing the incidence of drug abuse among youth and young adults is being increasingly recognized, and programs are becoming more effective, as more evaluation research identifies what does work. Generally, a program can be classified according to the particular level of intervention is seeks to address: primary prevention, secondary prevention, and treatment.
Primary prevention programs are generally programs which are designed to educate youth and young adults in the dangers of drug use, and to encourage them to adopt drug-free lifestyles. Generally, primary prevention programs are directed to individuals with no direct experience with alcohol or drug abuse. A sample of some typical topics covered in primary prevention programs are: learning accurate knowledge about the short-term and long-term effects of drugs, developing a positive self concept, understanding and dealing with peer pressure, and exploring positive alternatives to drugs. Project Dare, a prevention program delivered in school classrooms by Los Angeles Police Officers, and SPEDCA (School Program to Educate and Control Drug Abuse) are two examples of primary prevention programs.
Secondary prevention programs are more intensively focused. They may be aimed at individuals who have experimented initially with dnigs, but have not yet experienced persistent dysfunctional effects from this use. Or, the program may be targeted to high risk individuals, such as children alcoholic parents. Secondary prevention programs seek to prevent individuals from further involvement in alcohol or drug abuse, which could seriously harm the individual (and possibly others), or lead tu serious dependencies. Alternatives programs for children of alcoholics and impaired driving programs are two examples of secondary prevention programs.
Treatment programs are tailored to individuals who have developed serious drug dependencies. The main goal of the treatment is to enable the individual to overcome his or her dependency. The type of treatment which is appropriate will vary with the nature of the dependency and its severity. Self-help programs, residential treatment programs, and out-patient treatment programs are examples of the range in treatment strategies available.
In classifying programs according to the above criteria, it is important to understand the concept of prevention and treatment as a continuum. Inevitably, some programs reflect elements of more than one category, because both the causes of, and solutions to alcohol and drug abuse are so very complex.
Effective prevention and treatment must be carefully planned and implemented. Evaluation research conducted on many programs has demonstrated that "scare tactics" do not work. Successful programs are those which use a "wholistic" focus, combining more than one prevention strategy in the program (). Generally, programs which involve more than one community element, such as the family, and the school of the targeted client, are likely to have more impact. And finally, the program must be of sufficient intensity and duration to make a difference to the problem being addressed.
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR PROGRAMS IN THIS INVENTORY
This inventory has focused on programs appropriate for children, adolescents or young adults. It primarily features Canadian and American programs. In selecting the programs, a broad definition of drugs was adopted, which included tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, hallucinogens, and other substances which may alter an individual's mood or behaviour. Where possible, we have identified the substance(s) the program is concerned with,if this level of detail was available in the program information provided to us. The programs listed in this inventory are those which have yielded positive results, or, have the potential to yield positive results because of the program elements they contain. Many of the programs described have been widely replicated, or have attained recognition as model programs.
Extensive resource material is available for many of the programs. This includes items such as training packages, curriculum guidelines, instructional aids, and audiovisual material. The inventory provides references to this material. Further information about prices and availability can be obtained from the program source.
ORGANIZATION OF THE PRINTED VERSION OF THE INVENTORY
The inventory is organized under six main sections, according to the intervention level the program addresses, and the primary setting for delivering the program. The sections are as follows:
Section 1: School-based Primary Prevention Programs:
This section describes programs which take place in the classroom, and includes further subsections, presented according to the main drug category which the program addresses, and other distinguishing features of the program.
Section 2: Family-based Primary Prevention Programs: This section describes programs which stress parental, or family involvement in carrying out the program.
Section 3: Other Primary Prevention Programs:
This section describes various additional prevention programs involving youth and adolescents. These programs are helpful resources in the development of long-term prevention strategies. It should be noted that these programs have not produced positive outcomes in controlled evaluations to date. However, we believe they do have potential. Many of them are undergoing revisions which will likely result in more positive results in the future.
rm 4: School-based and Familv-based Secondary Prevention Program
This section describes many school-based and family-based secondary prevention programs. Innovative programs involving peers, and specialized programs aimed at the children of alcoholics are included as subsections.
Section 5: Community-based Secondary Prevention Programs:
This section includes various programs which are available in the community setting to individuals with alcohol and drug abuse problems. This includes programs in which participation is voluntary, and programs in which participation has been mandated by the courts, or other institutions.
Section 6: Treatment Programs for Adolescents and Young Adults: This section describes out-patient programs and residential programs for adolescents and young adults who have developed serious alcohol and or drug dependency problems. This includes subsections on various treatment modalities, such as out-patient treatment, various kinds of residential treatment, self-help treatment, and other community, or family-based strategies.
Because prevention and treatment are all part of a continuum, many of the programs presented share common characteristics, irrespective of their classification. If you are looking for a programs with a specific set of characteristics, we recommend that you have the National Victims' Resource Centre conduct a specific search for you (see page 7).

RESEARCH ALSO SUGGESTS THAT KNOWLEDGE IS MORE READILY ABSORBED IN GROUP LEARNING SITUATIONS. THE PROGRAM IS TAUGHT BY TEACHERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN A FOUR-HOUR TRAINING SESSION, AND WHO HAVE ACCESS TO ALCOHOL EDUCATION PROGRAM CONSULTANTS DURING THE PROGRAM DELIVERY. THE CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT IN TWENTY, FIFTY MINUTE LESSONS OVER A FOUR WEEK PERIOD. THE TOPICS ARE AS FOLLOWS@D PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL AND ATTITUDES TOWARD DRINKING (WEEK ONE), DRINKING DECISIONS AND PEER PRESSURE PRESSURE (WEEK TWO), DRINKING AND DRIVING (WEEK THREE), AND PROBLEM DRINK/NG AND ALCOHOLISM (WEEK FOUR). THE PROGRAM PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS. PRIOR TO THE PROGRAM, EACH STUDENT IS TESTED FOR HIS OR HER PERFORMANCE LEVEL. FOUR MEMBER TEAMS, CONSISTING OF ONE HIGH ACHIEVER, TWO AVERAGE ACHIEVERS, AND ONE LOW ACHIEVER ARE ESTABLISHED. DURING THE FIRST THREE LESSONS OF EACH WEEK, THE PARTICIPANTS LEARN ABOUT ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOL ABUSE THROUGH TRADITIONAL EXERCISES, DISCUSSIONS, AND PARTICIPATION. DURING THE FOURTH LESSON, THE TGT TEAMS FILL OUT WORK SHEETS. THE TOURNAMENT IS HELD ON THE FIFTH LESSON DAY OF EACH WEEK. DURING THE TOURNAMENT, INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS COMPETE AGAINST MEMBERS OF OTHER TGT TEAMS WHO ARE MATCHED IN ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL IN GAMES ABOUT THE WEEK'S TOPICS. ANSWERS ARE SCORED AND STUDENTS WHO REACH CERTAIN POINT THRESHOLDS ARE BUMPED UP TO A HIGHER ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL GAME. A TOTAL TEAM SCORE IS COMPUTED AT THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT.

DESC : THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "A FORM OF COERCED, INTENSIVE AND MONITORED TREATMENT". FOLLOWING THEIR CONVICTION, CLIENTS ARE ASSESSED FOR THEIR SUITABILITY TO THE PROGRAM. THOSE ACCEPTED ALSO EXPERIENCE INTENSE PROBATION SUPERVISION. THE PROGRAM, DEVELOPED BY DR. STEPHEN K. VALLE, A REPRESENTATIVE OF A MASSACHUSETTS SUBSTANCE ABUSE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING FIRM, IS OPERATED AS A THIRTY WEEK OUT-PATIENT PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM USES "ACCOUNTABILITY THERAPY", WHICH INVOLVES MANDATORY ATTENDANCE AT ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS THREE TIMES WEEKLY, GROUP COUNSELLING ONCE WEEKLY, AND OTHER LECTURES, DISCUSSIONS, AND SEMINARS. ABSTINENCE IS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT ENROLLMENT IN THE PROGRAM. AN EVALUATION STUDY OF THE PROGRAM WAS CONDUCTED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH'S DIVISION OF ALCOHOLISM IN 1986. THIS STUDY COMPARED 163 PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WITH 77 PARTICIPANTS IN A CONVENTIONAL EIGHT WEEK TREATMENT PROGRAM. THE ABSTINENCE RATE OF THE QUINCY PROGRAM 1 PARTICIPANTS DURING THE FIRST TEN WEEKS OF THE PROGRAM WAS 47 PER CENT, COMPARED TO AN ABSTINENCE RATE OF ONLY 17 PER CENT OF THE CONVENTIONAL PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS DURING ITS EIGHT WEEK LIFE CYCLE. MORE RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT 75 PER CENT OF THE QUINCY PROGRAM 471 CLIENTS IN 1986 ARE STILL ABSTINENT. MOREOVER, 93 PER CENT OF THE 471 CLIENTS HAVE INDICATED THAT THE PROGRAM HAS HELPED THEM TO EITHER REDUCE, OR CEASE DRINKING.

DESC : THIS PROGRAM IS AN EIGHT-HOUR, ONE DAY SESSION, WHICH AIMS TO EDUCATE DRIVERS ABOUT DRINKING AND DRIVING. IT IS BASED ON THE PHOENIX MODEL, AND IS TAUGHT BY ADULT EDUCATION SPECIALISTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN ALCOHOL ABUSE EDUCATION. IT IS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE OFFENDER WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO ALTER HIS DRINKING PRACTICES IF HE OR SHE IS AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF ALCOHOL UPON AN INDIVIDUAL'S DRIVING SKILLS, INFORMED OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, AND ENCOURAGED TO ASSESS HIS OR HER PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR IN A NON-THREATENING GROUP SETTING. THE PROGRAM'S SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, OPPORTUNITIES, AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE MOTIVATED TO ALTER THEIR DRINKING AND DRIVING PRACTICES. THIS INCLUDE PROVIDING CLIENTS REFERRAL ASSISTANCE TO CLIENTS REQUIRING FURTHER TREATMENT. A SEPARATE TREATMENT PROGRAM, TITLED, IMPACT, WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1985, TO HANDLE REPEAT OFFENDERS. A STUDY OF THE PROGRAM CONDUCTED IN 1970/71 OBSERVED NO REDUCTION IN THE DRINKING AND DRIVING BEHAVIOURS OF THE STUDIED PARTICIPANTS IN COMPARISON TO A CONTROL GROUP. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CONTROL AND THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS DID NOT HAVE WELL MATCHED PREVIOUS DRIVING HISTORIES. MOREOVER, ONE OF THE MAJOR ROLES OF THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN TO EFFECTIVELY SCREEN CLIENTS TO OTHER SERVICES. WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF CONVICTION, 10.7 PER CENT OF THE PARTICIPANT GROUP CONTACTED AN EDMONTON TREATMENT CENTRE, COMPARED TO ONLY 6.4 PER CENT OF THE CONTROL GROUP. THE PARTICIPANT GROUP COMPRISED 38 PER CENT OF ALL REFERRALS TO THE CENTRE DURING THE PERIOD UNDER STUDY. PMA : PROGRAM INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE FROM THE PROGRAM SOURCE.

DESC : THIS PROGRAM IS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT REPEAT OFFENDERS OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE REQUIRE TREATMENT. THIS ASSUMPTION IS SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH WHICH SUGGESTS THAT APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY PER CENT OF THE REPEAT DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OFFENDERS HAVE SERIOUS DRINKING PROBLEMS. THE PROGRAM AIMS TO MOTIVATE OFFENDERS TO HANDLE THEIR PROBLEMS, BY PROVIDING AN ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S PROBLEM, HELPING HIM OR HER TO OVERCOME DENIAL, AND MOTIVATING THE INDIVIDUAL TO PARTICIPATE IN FURTHER TREATMENT. THE WEEKEND SESSIONS CONCERN THREE MAIN TOPICS@D ALCOHOL EDUCATION, COUNSELLING, AND TREATMENT MOTIVATION. PARTICIPANTS LEARN ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, RELATIONSHIPS, EMPLOYMENT, AND FINANCES, IN ADDITION TO THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS. THE INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS INCLUDE CASE HISTORIES, LECTURES AND FILMS. IN THE SECOND COMPONENT, THE PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN APPROXIMATELY TWELVE HOURS OF GROUP COUNSELLING. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTICIPANT RECEIVES ONE HOUR OF INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING. IN THE FINAL COMPONENT, FURTHER TREATMENT STRATEGIES AND REFERRALS TO OTHER AGENCIES ARE EXAMINED.

THE PROGRAM IS DELIVERED BY CLINICAL STAFF WHO HOLD MASTER'S DEGREES IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, AND EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN TREATING CHEMICAL DEPENDENCIES. THE INTENSIVE THREE MONTH PHASE IS STRUCTURED IN THREE STAGES, WHICH FEATURE MANDATORY URINALYSIS, EDUCATION, FAMILY COUNSELLING AND GROUP THERAPY, NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING, AND MANDATORY PARTICIPATION IN EITHER ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, OR NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS. THESE STAGES ARE DESCRIBED IN DETAIL BELOW. THE FIRST STAGE IS ASSESSMENT, AND IT CONSISTS OF TWO SESSIONS, INVOLVING THE ADOLESCENT AND HIS OR HER PARENTS. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSION ARE TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE BY THE ADOLESCENT, TO IDENTIFY ANY OTHER FAMILY DRUG PROBLEMS, TO EDUCATE THE FAMILY ABOUT ALCOHOL, CANNABIS, COCAINE, AND ANY OTHER DRUGS BEING USED, TO DEVELOP A TREATMENT PLAN (INCLUDING, IF NECESSARY, A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PLAN), AND TO REFER OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WITH ALCOHOL OR DRUG RELATED PROBLEMS TO THE APPROPRIATE SOURCE FOR ADULT ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT. IN STAGE TWO, THE INTENSIVE COMPONENT, THE FAMILY ENTERS A CONTRACT FOR A MINIMUM THREE MONTH TREATMENT PROGRAM. THIS INCLUDES A TWO HOUR FAMILY COUNSELLING SESSION, HELD WEEKLY. THE CONTRACT SPECIFIES THE REQUIRED HOME STRUCTURES, RULES, AND CONSEQUENCES FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER. WHERE NECESSARY, OTHER PROFESSIONALS, SUCH AS PROBATION OFFICERS, TEACHERS, AND OTHER PERSONS ARE INVOLVED IN THESE PLANS. THROUGHOUT THE SESSION, RANDOM URINALYSIS OF THE ADOLESCENT TAKES PLACE. PARENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH KITS TO PERFORM SPOT CHECKS AT HOME. SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS ARE AVAILABLE THREE TO FOUR TIMES WEEKLY. THE ADOLESCENT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND EITHER NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS, OR ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, AND PRACTICE THE TWELVE STEPS THESE PROGRAMS ADVOCATE. THE ADOLESCENT ATTENDS TWO HOURS EACH OF INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING, GROUP THERAPY, AND NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING.

DURING THIS STAGE, IT IS MADE CLEAR TO THE FAMILY THAT IF THE ADOLESCENT PERSISTS IN USING DRUGS OR ALCOHOL, HE OR SHE WILL HAVE TO ENTER A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM. IN MANY INSTANCES, FAMILIES ARE TAKEN ON A TOUR OF A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, TO DEEPEN THEIR AWARENESS OF THIS CONSEQUENCE. IN GENERAL, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT MOST PARTICIPANTS DO REMAIN IN THE OHLHOFF PROGRAM. IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT ONLY ELEVEN PER CENT OF THE ADOLESCENTS ENTERING THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO MORE INTENSIVE, OR RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS. THE THIRD STAGE IS AFTER-CARE. THIS STAGE IS OPEN TO BOTH GRADUATES OF PHASE TWO AND PARTICIPANTS OF RESIDENTIAL OR HOSPITAL IN-PATIENT PROGRAMS. AFTER CARE MAY EXTEND TO ONE OR TWO YEARS. IT MAY INVOLVE COUNSELLING, WHERE APPROPRIATE, IN ADDITION TO RE-ORIENTATION TO THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER OUT-PATIENT SUPPORT. A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY, CONDUCTED IN 1984, DEMONSTRATED A DRUG FREE RATE OF 80 PER CENT FOR THE 289 PARTICIPANTS SAMPLED.

LEVEL ONE IS INTAKE AND CLINICAL ASSESSMENT, LEVEL TWO IS PRIMARY CARE, LEVEL THREE IS OUT-PATIENT THERAPY, LEVEL FOUR IS SPECIALIZED INTERVENTIONS, AND LEVEL FIVE IS DAY TREATMENT, OR RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SERVICES. IN LEVEL ONE, INTAKE AND CLINICAL ASSESSMENT, THE POTENTIAL CLIENT MEETS WITH AN OUT-PATIENT COUNSELOR TO DISCUSS THE PROGRAM AND THE CLIENTS NEEDS. ALTERNATIVELY, A FAMILY MEMBER, OR FRIEND OF THE INDIVIDUAL ABUSING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, MAY CONSULT WITH THE OUT-PATIENT COUNSELOR. WHERE APPROPRIATE, A CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE ALCOHOL OR DRUG ABUSER IS CONDUCTED. THIS INCLUDES A SERIES OF OBJECTIVE TESTS ABOUT THE CLIENT'S ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE AND RELATED AREAS OF LIFE FUNCTIONING, A STRUCTURED PSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVIEW, A MEDICAL EXAMINATION, AND A FAMILY ASSESSMENT. IN LEVEL TWO, PRIMARY CARE, THE OUT-PATIENT COUNSELOR BECOMES THE CLIENT'S PRIMARY CARE WORKER. THE PRIMARY CARE WORKER HOLDS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CLIENT'S CASE MANAGEMENT AND THE PROVISION OF SUPPORTIVE COUNSELLING THROUGH DURATION OF TREATMENT. CASE MANAGEMENT INVOLVES THE COORDINATION OF SERVICES, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY NEGOTIATIONS WHICH MUST BE MADE ON BEHALF OF THE CLIENT, INCLUDING REVIEWS OF THE TREATMENT PLAN. THE PRIMARY CARE WORKER PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE COUNSELLING TO THE CLIENT, AND IS MOT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL TREATMENT PROCESS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A CLIENT IS NOT MOTIVATED, OR IS IN SOME WAY UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MORE STRUCTURED TREATMENT PROGRAM, HE OR SHE WILL BE REFERRED BACK TO THE PRIMARY CARE WORKER FOR SUPPORTIVE COUNSELLING.

DESC : THE NORTHWEST OUTREACH PROGRAM IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT ADOLESCENTS SHOULD BE TREATED IN THEIR COMMUNITY, SO THAT TREATMENT CAN, WHERE NECESSARY, INVOLVE THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE SUBSTANCE ABUSER. IT IS STAFFED BY TWO TEAMS OF FIVE TO SIX OUTREACH WORKERS WHO SPEND A PORTION OF THEIR WORKING DAY IN THE COMMUNITY IN PLACES WHERE ADOLESCENTS "HANG OUT". THE OUTREACH WORKERS IDENTIFY ADOLESCENTS WITH DRUG PROBLEMS, AND BY DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, ENCOURAGE THEM TO SEEK TREATMENT. APPROXIMATELY 45 PER CENT OF THE NORTHWEST OUTREACH PROGRAM REFERRALS ARE MADE IN THIS FASHION. THE REMAINING REFERRALS ARE MADE BY COMMUNITY AGENCIES, SUCH AS THE POLICE AND OTHER CRIMINAL JUSTICE PERSONNEL, MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, AND SCHOOLS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT COURT-BASED REFERRALS ARE ACCEPTED BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER ADJUDICATION. THE AVERAGE DURATION OF THE ADOLESCENT'S PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM IS THIRTY TO THIRTY-SIX WEEKS, WITH DAILY SESSIONS OF TWO HOURS OR MORE. ADDITIONALLY, FOUR TO SIX MONTHS OF AFTERCARE IS PROVIDED. THE MAIN TREATMENT STRATEGY IS GROUP THERAPY, WHICH EMPHASIZES THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-AWARENESS, SOCIAL COPING SKILLS, PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FOUR LEVELS@D DISCOVERY, ABSTINENCE, LIFE SKILLS, AND AFTERCARE. THE DISCOVERY PHASE, BEGINS WITH A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S ADDICTION PROBLEM. FOLLOWING THIS, THE ADOLESCENT PARTICIPATES IN AN EDUCATION PROGRAM, WHICH DEALS WITH THE PHARMACOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE, THE CONCEPT OF ADDICTION AS A DISEASE, FAMILY ISSUES, AND AN INTRODUCTION TO SELF-HELP PROGRAMS. RECREATION IS ALSO ENCOURAGED, AND IT IS STATED THAT APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY PER CENT OF THE CLIENTS PARTICIPATED IN RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. WEEKLY INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING IS ALSO PROVIDED. THE DURATION OF THE DISCOVERY PHASE IS SIX TO TWELVE WEEKS. IN THE ABSTINENCE PHASE, ACHIEVING ABSTINENCE IS THE CLIENT'S GOAL. CLIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, OR NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS. PLANS TO DEAL WITH ANY RELAPSE WHICH MAY OCCUR ARE MADE. PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BECOME INVOLVE IN PARENT SUPPORT GROUPS, ONE OF WHICH IS MODELED AFTER THE TOUGH LOVE PROGRAM, AND ANOTHER AFTER FAMILIES ANONYMOUS (SEE DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE PROGRAMS LISTED IN THIS INVENTORY). LIFE SKILLS ARE FEATURED IN LEVEL THREE, AND THE SELF-HELP PROCESS INITIATED IN LEVEL TWO IS CONTINUED. CLIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BECOME INVOLVED IN SOCIAL ANQ RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, AND IN THESE CONTEXTS, TO SERVE AS LEADERS, HELPING YOUTH AT LESS ADVANCED SATES OF TREATMENT. AT THE END OF THIS LEVEL, AN ACHIEVEMENT BANQUET IS HELD FOR THE CLIENT AND HIS OR HER SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. LEVEL FOUR, AFTERCARE, IS OFFERED TO CLIENTS REQUIRING THIS SERVICE. THIS MAY INVOLVE ON-GOING GROUP THERAPY, INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING, AND SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL SERVICES. THE PROGRAM'S OUTREACH STAFF NEED NOT HAVE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OR COLLEGE DEGREES, HOWEVER THEY MUST HAVE CERTIFICATION AS ALCOHOL OR DRUG ABUSE COUNSELORS. STAFF WHO DELIVER THE TREATMENT PROGRAM USUALLY AR PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED SOCIAL WORKERS, OR HOLD RELATED MASTER'S DEGREES, WITH A MINIMUM OF TWO TO THREE YEARS EXPERIENCE.

DESC : THIS PREMISE OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT ADOLESCENT ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TREATED THROUGH AN OUT-PATIENT PROGRAM, PROVIDING THAT THE ADOLESCENTS ARE NOT HEAVY USERS WITH SERIOUS PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCIES. THE PROGRAM USES A SYSTEMS APPROACH WHICH SEEKS TO TREAT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE ADOLESCENTS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PROBLEM. GENERALLY, PROGRAM IS THREE MONTHS. AFTER-CARE CAN BE PROVIDED THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE ALTERNATIVE PURSUITS PROJECT. CLIENTS ARE REFERRED TO THE PROGRAM THROUGH VARIOUS SOURCES, INCLUDING FAMILIES, PHYSICIANS, SCHOOLS, COURTS, MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINES, AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. THE PROGRAM IS DELIVERED BY A RANGE OF PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING THREE COUNSELLORS, THREE PREVENT/ON SPECIALISTS, THREE INTERVENTION SPECIALISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PSYCHIATRISTS ARE AVAILABLE ON A CONSULTING BASIS. THE PROGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING PHASES@D PRE-TREATMENT, GROUP COUNSELLING, AND THERAPY, AND THE CLIENTS ARE PLACED IN SESSIONS ACCORDING TO THEIR PARTICLAR NEEDS. IN THE PRE-TREATMENT PHASE, THE ADOLESCENT UNDERGOES A TWO HOUR INTAKE AND ASSESSMENT INTERVIEW. THIS MAY INVOLVE THE PARTICIPATION OF FAMILY MEMBERS, REFERRING AGENCIES OR INDIVIDUALS, AND THE PROGRAM STAFF. IF THE ADOLESCENT IS ACCEPTED INTO THE PROGRAM, HE OR SHE ENTERS PHASE ONE, GROUP COUNSLELING. CLIENTS ARE ORGANIZED IN GROUPS OF UP TO TWELVE INDIVIDUALS, WHICH HAVE FOUR, TWO HOUR WEEKLY SESSIONS, DURING A FOUR WEEK PERIOD. THE SESSION TOPICS MAY INCLUDE A DISCUSSION OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING IN THE PROGRAM, STAFF EXPECTATIONS, PEER PRESSURE, PEER SUPPORT, FAMILY ISSUES, AND ALCOHOL AND DRUG EDUCATION. WHEN THIS PHASE IS COMPLETED, THE GROUP LEADER, THE ASSESSMENT STAFF, AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM MEET TO DECIDE THE STRUCTURE OF FURTHER TREATMENT. CLIENTS ARE THEN PLACED IN EITHER A PHASE TWO GROUP COUNSELLING PROGRAM, WHICH CONTINUES THE TREATMENT PROCESS CARRIED OUT IN PHASE ONE, OR, THE CLIENTS ARE THEN PLACED IN A PHASE THREE GROUP. THE PHASE THREE GROUP IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO HANDLE YOUTH WHO HAVE CONTINUED TO USE ALCOHOL AND DRUGS THROUGHOUT PHASE ONE, AND APPEAR TO BE CHRONIC CASES. THE PHASE TWO, GROUP COUNSELLING SESSIONS ARE HELD AS TWO HOUR, WEEKLY SESSIONS, DURING AN EIGHT WEEK PERIOD. ALTERNATIVES TO DRUGS, FAMILY ISSUES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND PEER MODELLING ARE FEATURED IN THESE SESSIONS. ADDITIONALLY, EACH GROUP DEVELOPS A PROJECT TO HELP THE COMMUNITY HANDLE ALCOHOL AND DRUG RELATED PROBLEMS. AN EXAMPLE PROJECT IS AN AUDIOVISUAL PREVENTION PROGRAM ON DRINKING AND DRIVING, WHICH COULD BE USED IN SCHOOLS. THE GROUP'S COHESIVENESS IS SUPPORTED THROUGH METHODS SUCH AS A "ROPES AND INITIATIVES COURSE". IN THE MIDDLE OF PHASE TWO, THE CLIENT ATTENDS AN INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING SESSION TO DISCUSS HIS OR HER PROGRESS. WHERE APPROPRIATE, ADDITIONAL MEASURES, SUCH AS FURTHER INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING, OR FAMILY COUNSELLING MAY BE ADDED TO THE PROGRAM. WHEN THIS PHASE IS COMPLETED, THE CLIENT ATTENDS AN EXIT INTERVIEW, AND ANY PLANS FOR AFTER-CARE ARE MADE AT THIS TIME. CLIENTS WHO ENTER PHASE THREE, THE THERAPY GROUP, ENTER A MORE INTENSIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM THAN THOSE WHO ENTERED PHASE TWO. THIS INCLUDES DIRECT CONFRONTATION SESSIONS, WHICH MAY INVOLVE FAMILY MEMBERS (IF THEIR ROLE IS SIGNIFICANT IN THE CLIENT'S ALCOHOL AND DRUG BEHAVIOURS).

THESE WORKSHOPS ARE OFFERED AS FOUR TO SIX WEEK PROGRAMS. AN ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM ALSO OFFERS VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, TO PROMOTE PERSONAL GROWTH. THIS HAS INCLUDED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS YOGA AND MARTIAL ARTS. HAVING UNDERGONE AN ASSESSMENT, THE CLIENT BEGINS THE TREATMENT PROGRAM, WHICH CONSISTS OF FIVE PHASES@D DENIAL, RECOGNITION, DIRECTIVE ACTION, SELF-INITIATED ACTION, AND AUTONOMY. IN THE DENIAL PHASE, THE CLIENT IS MOTIVATED TO ACCEPT TREATMENT, THROUGH THE FOSTERING OF TRUST AND POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH STAFF MEMBERS. IN THIS PHASE, THE CLIENTS TYPICALLY USE THE SERVICES ON AN AS-NEEDED BASIS. THIS MAY INCLUDE PARTICIPATION IN A NON-THREATENING WORKSHOP. IN PHASE TWO, RECOGNITION, THE CLIENT GAINS INSIGHT INTO THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HIS OR HER ABUSE OF DRUGS AND OTHER LIFE PROBLEMS, AND TO RECOGNIZE THE LIMITATIONS OF DRUG USE AS A COPING MECHANISM. ULTIMATELY, PHASE TWO SEEKS TO RESOLVE THE IMMEDIATE LIFE STRESSES WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO A CRISIS-ORIENTED LIFESTYLE AND CONTINUED DRUG USE. THIS PREPARES THE CLIENTS FOR MORE INTENSIVE TREATMENT. PHASE THREE, Ilina_rrVE ACTION', rs DESIumzU TO HELP THE ccraNT HUILd INNNER STRENGTH TO CONFRONT FEELINGS SUCH AS STRESS, ANGER, FEAR, AND OTHER FEELINGS WHICH ARE CONTRIBUTING TO HIS OR HER ABUSE OF DRUGS.

PHASE FOUR, SELF«-IN/TIATED ACTION, THE CLIENT GAINS FURTHER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMICS OF HIS OR HER DRUG USE, AND ALTERNATIVE ACTION IS PRACTICED. DURING THIS STAGE, DRUG USE IS FURTHER REDUCED, AND THE CL/ENT'S CONTACT WITH PEERS INVOLVED IN THE DRUG SUBCULTURE DIMINISHES. THE CLIENT BEGINS TO PARTICIPATE IN MORE ACTIVITIES OFFERED BY THE DOOR PROGRAM, AND BEGINS TO DEVELOP PEER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER DOOR CLIENTS. IN PHASE F/VE, AUTONOMY, THE CLIENT IS PREPARED TO CHOOSE ABSTINENCE. MAJOR THERAPEUTIC ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED, INCLUDING THE CHALLENGE OF INDEPENDENCE, AND LIVING WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE TREATMENT PROGRAM. THE CLIENT IS ASSISTED IN MAKING FURTHER LIFE DECISIONS. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THE CLIENT IS ENCOURAGED TO ASSUME A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE PROGRAM, WHICH KAY INCLUDE PLANNING AND COORDINATING PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, AND ORGANIZING OUTINGS AND OTHER COMMUNITY VISITS FOR NEW CLIENTS. THE CLIENT MAY ALSO ASSIST IN "RAP" SESSIONS, AND ORIENTATION SESSIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM. A THREE YEAR FOLLOW-UP OF THE PROGRAM'S GRADUATES WHICH WAS CONDUCTED FROM 1975 TO 1978 SUGGESTS THAT THE PARTICIPANTS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN ACHIEVING EDUCATIONAL-RELATED AND EMPLOYMENT-RELATED GOALS. OF THOSE STUDIED, FIFTY PER CENT REPORTED THAT THEIR DRUG USE HAD DECREASED AS A RESULT OF THE PROGRAM, FORTY-EIGHT PER CENT REPORTED NO CHANGE, AND TWO PER CENT HAD INCREASED THEIR DRUG USE. THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT MORE SELECTIVE SCREENING OF CLIENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE MORE FAVOURABLE RESULTS.

DESC : THIS PROGRAM WAS INITIATED IN 1967 WITH A DOZEN MALE HEROIN ADDICTS WHO, UPON THEIR RECOVERY FROM THEIR ADDICTION, POOLED RESOURCES AND ESTABLISHED A TREATMENT PROGRAM. SINCE THEN, IT HAS EVOLVED INTO A MULTI-SERVICE, MULTI-FACILITY ORGANIZATION. SINCE 1974, THE PROGRAM'S THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY HAS RECEIVED 1,100 ADMISSIONS YEARLY, AND MAINTAINS A LIVE-IN POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 550. THE UNDERLYING PREMISE OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT DRUG ADDICTION IS A DISORDER OF THE WHOLE PERSON, INVOLVING DEFICITS IN THINKING, VALUES, EDUCATION, AND SPRITUALITY. THE INDIVIDUAL'S RECOVERY IS BASED ON A NUMBER OF CONCEPTS. THIS INCLUDES THE CONCEPT OF SELF-HELP, WHICH REFERS TO THE READINESS AND COMMITMENT OF THE PERSON TO CHANGE. IT ALSO INCLUDES MOTIVATION, AND THE BALANCE OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE PRESSURES TO CHANGE. RECOVERY ALSO HINGES UPON THE SOCIAL LEARNING OF LIFESTYLE CHANGES. AND FINALLY, TREATMENT MUST BE VIEWED AS AN EPISODE DURING WHICH REHABILITATIVE GOALS MUST BE ACHIEVED WITH A HIGH IMPACT, IF RECOVERY IS TO BE SUSTAINED UPON PROGRAM COMPLETION. PHOENIX HOUSE PROVES AN EXTENSIVE OUT-REACH SERVICE. MANY OF ITS CLIENTS ARE SELF-REFERRED. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY-FOUR MONTHS' RESIDENCY, FOLLOWED BY A SIX MONTH AFTER-CARE PROGRAM. IT IS OPERATED AND DELIVERED BY A BLEND OF PROFESSIONALS AND PARA-PROFESSIONAL EX-DRUG ADDICTS. THE PROGRAM IS DELIVERED IN THREE PHASES@D INDUCTION, PRIMARY TREATMENT, AND RE-ENTRY. THE INDUCTION PHASE (ONE TO THIRTY DAYS) ORIENTS THE CLIENT TO THE PROGRAM, AND ESTABLISHES THE INDIVIDUAL'S PEER GROUP, CLAN RELATIONSHIPS AND JOB ROLE IN THE THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY.

THROUGHOUT THIS PHASE, THE CLIENT'S GRADUAL REINTEGRATION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE GROUP THERAPY PROCESS, AND THE COUNSELLING OF STAFF. THIS PHASE OFFICIALLY ENDS SIX MONTHS AFTER THE CLIENT HAS LEFT THE PHOENIX HOUSE RESIDENCE. AN ANNUAL GRADUATION CEREMONY IS HELD ONE YEAR AFTER RESIDENCY IS TERMINATED. THE RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM MAINTAINS A FULL-TIME MEDICAL DIRECTOR, FULL-TIME NURSES, PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTANTS AND TWO DENTIST CONSULTANTS. ALL OF THE CLINICAL STAFF ARE GRADUATES OF PHOENIX HOUSE'S TRAINING PROGRAM, OR A SIMILAR THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY PROGRAM. THIRTY PER CENT OF THE STAFF HAVE OBTAINED A COLLEGE DEGREE.

AN EVALUATION OF THE PROGRAM WAS PERFORMED IN 1970-71, AND 1974-75, AND IS DESCRIBED IN A DOCUMENTED TITLED, THE THERAPEuTIC COMMUNITY@D STUDY OF EFFECTIVENESS. THIS STUDY COMPRISED A THREE YEAR FOLLOW-UP OF FOUR HUNDRED PHOENIX HOUSE DROP-OUTS (WHO HAD SPEND ONE TO SEVENTEEN MONTHS IN RESIDENCE), AND ONE HUNDRED PHOENIX HOUSE GRADUATES. THE SUBJECTS WERE 19-26 YEARS OLD, AND WERE PRIMARILY OPIOID USERS. WITH RESPECT TO OPIOD USE, SIGNIFICANT DECLINES AMONG BOTH GROUPS WERE OBSERVED. LESS THAN FIVE PER CENT OF THE PHOENIX HOUSE GRADUATES REPORTED OPIOID USE, COMPARED TO NINETY-FIVE PER CENT PRIoR TO TREATMENT. WITH THE DROP-OUT GROUP, SEVENTY-FOUR PER CENT REPORTED OPIOID USE, COMPARED TO NINETy-SIX PER CENT PRIOR TO TREATMENT. WITH RESPECT TO CANNABIS USE, DAILY USERS DECLINED FRoM TWENTy-SIX PER CENT PRIOR TO TREATMENT, TO THIRTY-TWO PER CENT. THE PHOENIX HOUSE GRADUATES DROPPED FROM THIRTy-FIVE PER CENT USE pRIOR TO TREATMENT, TO FORTy-FOUR PER CENT. DAILY USERS DECLINED FROM ELEVEN PER CENT TO FIVE PER CENT AMONG THIS GROUP. WITH RESPECT TO ALCOHOL USE, SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE NOTED BETWEEN THE DROP-OUTS AND THE GRADUATES. THE USE OF ALCOHOL AMONG THE DROP-OUTS REMAINED CONSTANT PRIOR TO AND POST THE PROGRAM (ABOUT TEN PER CENT USERS, IN BOTH INSTANCES). IN CONTRAST, THE USE OF ALCOHOL AMONG THE GRADUATES INCREASED, FROM FORTY-.SIX PER CENT USERS PRIOR TO TREATMENT, TO SIXTY-SIX PER CENT USERS. IN ADDITION, THE PROPORTION OF GRADUATES DRINKING ONE TO THREE DAYS WEEKLY DOUBLED FROM TWENTY PER CENT PRIOR TO THE TREATMENT, TO FORTY PER CENT POST TREATMENT.

DESC : THIS THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY PROGRAM WAS FOUNDED IN 1973, AND WAS INITIALLY BASED ON THE DAYTOP VILLAGE PROGRAM IN NEW YORK. THE UNDERLYING PREMISE OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT DRUG ADDICTION IS SYMPTOMATIC OF A CHARACTER DISORDER, LINKED TO INADEQUATE, OR FAULTY SOCIALIZATION. INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS CHARACTER DISORDER USE DRUGS TO ESCAPE FROM STRESS, AND TO ACHIEVE IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION. THE MAJOR THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES USED ARE ROLE MODELLING, BEHAVIOURAL CONDITIONING, A SYSTEM OF UPWARD SOCIAL MOBILITY IN THE THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY AND VERBAL REPRIMANDS, GROUP THERAPY, AND INDIVIDUAL THERAPY. THE PROGRAM IS BASED AT A RURAL FACILITY ON LAC ECHO, IN QUEBEC, ABOUT FORTY-FIVE MILES NORTH OF MONTREAL. THE FACILITY CAN TREAT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE RESIDENTS AT A TIME. THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM IS UP TO TWO YEARS. ABOUT THIRTY-FIVE PER CENT OF ITS CLIENTS ARE REFERRED THROUGH THE COURTS. OFFENDERS ENTER THE PROGRAM WHILE ON PROBATION AND IF THERAPY IS SUCCESFFUL, THEY RECEIVE A SUSPENDED SENTENCE. THE REMAINING RESIDENTS ARE EITHER SELF-REFERRED OR ARE REFERRED BY OTHER INSTITUTIONS OR PSYCHOLOGISTS. THE PROGRAM IS STAFFED BY PROFESSIONALS AND PARA PROFESSIONAL EX-ADDICT COUNSELORS. OTHER PROFESSIONALS ARE AVAILABLE AS CONSULTANTS. TREATMENT IS ORGANIZED IN SEVEN PHASES@D SCREENING AND ADMISSION, INDUCTION AND ORIENTATION, RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE, POST-REHABILITATION, REINTEGRATION, TREATMENT COMPLETION, AND FOLLLOW-UP. SCREENING AND ADMISSION (ONE WEE ( ) IS DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE INDIVIDUAL'S LEVEL OF MOTIVATION AND SUITABILITY TO THE PROGRAM. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS ACCEPTED, HE OR SHE IMMEDIATELY ENTERS AN DAY PROGRAM, UNTIL A SPACE AT THE LAC ECHO FACILITY BECOMES AVAILABLE. IN PHASE TWO, INDUCTION AND ORIENTATION (ONE WEEK) THE CLIENT IS PLACED IN ONE OF LAC ECHO'S SMALL COTTAGES, AND UNDERGOES ONE WEEK'S PREPARATION AND PROBATION. WHEN THIS PHASE IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED, THE CLIENT MAY BECOME A MEMBER OF THE THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY. PHASE THREE, RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE (SEVEN MONTHS), INVOLVES A CONDITIONING PROCESS, DELIVERED THROUGH GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS. THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF GROUP SESSIONS. "GROUP ENCOUNTERS" ARE USED TO DEAL WITH DAILY PRESSURES, FOCUSING ON THE HEAR AND NOW. THESE GROUPS ARE COMPRISED OF FIVE TO TEN MEMBERS, AND ONE AND ONE HALF HOUR SESSIONS ARE HELD THREE TIMES WEEKLY. "PROBES" ARE NON-AGRESSIVE GROUPS WHICH DEAL WITH CLIENT FEARS, ANXIETIES, AND GUILT. PROBES GROUPS ARE LED BY TWO OR MORE STAFF MEMBERS, AND MAY LAST UP TO EIGHT HOURS. "PEER CONFRONTATION GROUPS" DEAL WITH THE UNIQUE PROBLEMS OF THE GROUP MEMBERS, AND PROVIDE THE OPPORUNITY FOR CONFRONTING MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOURS. IN ADDITION TO THE GROUP METHODS, INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTIVE THERAPY, AND COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY ARE AVAILABLE. THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY A PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTANT. IN ADDITION, THE STAFF PSYCHOLOGIST OFFERS INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING, WHICH INCLUDES VOCATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE TO RESIDENTS NEARING COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM. MARRIAGE COUNSELLING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. IN PHASE FOUR, POST-REHABILITATION (ONE MONTH), THE RESIDENT IS MADE A "BIG BROTHER" TO THE PROGRAM, AND PARTICIPATES IN POST-REHABILITATION COUNSELLING. PHASE FIVE, REINTEGRATION (ONE MONTH) INVOLVES THE CLIENT IN WORK AND OTHER SOCIAL CONTACT WITH SOCIETY. IN THIS PHASE, THE CLIENT MAY LIVE EITHER AT THE PORTAGE'S MONTREAL CENTRE OR AT LAC ECHO (IF THE CLIENT IS PARTICIPATING IN STAFF TRAINING). IN PHASE SIX (THREE MONTHS), THE CLIENT IS STABILIZED IN A JOB, OR IN EDUCATIONAL, OR VOCATIONAL TRAINING. WHEN IT IS FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE, THE CLIENT MOVES OUT OF THE RESIDENCE. THIS USUALLY OCCURS THIRTY TO FORTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER GAINING EMPLOYMENT. A FINAL INTERVIEW IS HELD SHORTLY AFTER THE CLIENT HAS ESTABLISEHD RESIDENCY OUTSIDE THE PROGRAM. PHASE SEVEN, FOLLOW-UP, IS AVAILABLE ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS, AND CLIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAINTAIN A LIAISON WITH THE PROGRAM. AN EVALUATION OF THE PROGRAM SUGGESTS THAT THE RESIDENTS COMPLETING EIGHT MONTHS OR MORE IN THE PROGRAM ACHIEVED SIGNICANT MPROVEMENTS IN SEVENTEEN OF TWENTY-ONE PSYCHOLGICAL INDICATORS. PMA : SEE R.

IN PHASE TWO, TREATMENT (TEN TO SIXTEEN MONTHS), CLIENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY'S EMPLOYMENT SYSTEM, AND MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, VOCATIONAL COUNSELLING, AND RECREATIONAL THERAPY. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ENGAGE IN GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS ( A MINIMUM OF THREE SESSIONS WEEKLY, INVOLVING EIGHT TO TEN CLIENTS), AND RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY COUNSELLING. IN PHASE THREE, RE-ENTRY, THE CLIENTS MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN EXTERNAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS (SUCH AS PUBLIC SCHOOL, OR COLLEGE), OR, THEY MAY PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGE • LEVEL COURSES TAUGHT AT THE SECOND GENESIS HOUSES. GRADUATION FROM THE PROGRAM TAKES PLACE WHEN STAFF HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE CLIENT HAS THE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO LIVE AUTONOMOUSLY. THE CLIENT MAY PARTICIPATE IN A SIX-MONTH GROUP THERAPY FOLLOW-UP, FOLLOWING PROGRAM COMPLETION. A 1977 EVALUATION OF THE PROGRAM WAS CONDUCTED BY THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA PLANNING DISTRICT COMMISSION SUBSTANCE ABUSE ADVISORY COUNCIL. THIS EVALUTION WAS CONDUCTED ON A SECOND GENESIS HOUSE LOCATED IN THAT STATE. THE EVALUATION REPORTED THAT THE PROGRAM IMPROVED THE EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND EDUCATIONAL LEVELS OF THE CLIENTS AND IMPROVED THEIR SOCIAL FUNCTIONING.
