Abstract

During the 1960s, three modalities of treatment aimed at rehabilitation of the drug abuser (methadone maintenance, outpatient drug free treatment, and the residential therapeutic community) were developed. Large amounts of public and private monies have gone to supporting these modalities; little evaluation as to the efficacy of such rehabilitation efforts has been done. This paper attempts to delineate the evaluative research efforts undertaken in the drug field to date. In addition, the findings of an eight-year evaluation of six drug treatment programs in Newark, NJ are presented. The authors propose a paradigm for quick effective evaluation of drug and alcohol programs at minimal cost.
