Therapeutic Communities: A Family-Centered Approach to Drug Addiction

Abstract

dc:description

This dissertation focuses on therapeutic communities as one of the efforts being made to help persons who are abusing drugs. Therapeutic communities are drug-free residential treatment centers for drug addicts. They are committed to a treatment plan based on the belief that drug addiction is a human rather than a chemical dilemma and that the family milieu is the center of drug abuse treatment.
