The Therapeutic Community
The evolution of the contemporary Therapeutic Community (TC) for addictions over the past 50 years may be characterized as a movement from the marginal to the mainstream of substance abuse treatment and human services. TCs currently serve a wide array of clients and their diverse problems; through advances in research in treatment outcomes, the composition of staff has been reshaped, the duration of residential treatment has been reduced, the tre…

TC-Oriented Supported Housing for Homeless Micas
This article describes a TC-oriented aftercare program for homeless mentally ill chemical abusers (MICAs) in a supported housing facility, and presents some preliminary data on program effectiveness. The study divided the clients who had completed a residential modified TC program into two groups--those who participated in the TC-oriented supported housing program and those who did not. The data show similarities in the profile of the two groups.…

Adolescents in Therapeutic Communities
Given the dearth of information concerning outcomes for adolescents who have been in treatment for substance abuse and related problems, the purpose of the present article is to examine the posttreatment status of adolescents who have been in residential therapeutic communities (TCs). One-year posttreatment outcome data are described for 485 adolescents, and separately for treatment "completers" and "noncompleters." The majority of the sample had…
Adolescent Amphetamine Users in Treatment
This study compares client profiles of adolescent amphetamine users to those of nonusers and examines the multivariate prediction of posttreatment drug use, criminal, and HIV risk behavior outcomes in the year following their separation from treatment. Data were collected as part of a larger longitudinal study on a sample of 938 adolescents who were admitted to residential therapeutic community drug treatment programs across the eastern United St…

Treatment for Micas
This article describes the main features of an innovative therapeutic community (TC) model adapted for use with mentally ill chemical abusers (MICAs). It describes the rationale for use of the modified TC with MICAs, the treatment structure and environment created, the essential components of the modified TC program, staffing, and the process and goals of client change. Details are given regarding issues and strategies for the implementation of t…
Residential Therapeutic Communities in the Mainstream
Not all residential drug abuse treatment programs are therapeutic communities (TCs), not all TCs are in residential settings, and not all programs that call themselves TCs employ the same social and psychological models of treatment. The term "therapeutic community" is widely used to represent a distinct approach in almost any setting, including community residences, hospital wards, prisons, and homeless shelters. One effect of this labeling has …
Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Research
There has been renewed interest in residential drug abuse treatment research since the late 1980s. Earlier research employed control group designs. This article argues that for today's treatment research, the applicability of control groups created by either matched groups or by random sampling is limited. Four difficulties with control group designs are (1) client differences make assembling matched treatment and control groups untenable, (2) im…
Is the Therapeutic Community Culturally Relevant? Findings on Race/Ethnic Differences in Retention in Treatment
The therapeutic community (TC) views cultural diversity as an essential ingredient in its treatment approach. However, based on clinical observation and some research, questions persist concerning the relevance of TC programming for numerical race/ethnic minorities. This article briefly reviews pertinent research and presents findings from recent studies on race/ethnic differences in readiness and suitability for, and retention in, TC treatment. …
Psychopathology and Substance Abuse
The pervasive use of drugs in the general population and the clearly established relationship between drug abuse and psychological disorder emphasizes the importance of diagnoses and treatment in both the mental health and the drug abuse service systems. Therapeutic community (TC) research findings on psychopathology are highlighted on the prevalence, trends, and impact of treatment, which indicate that TCs have evolved a potent model for modifyi…

Psychiatric Diagnoses Among Substance Abusers in Therapeutic Community Treatment
Encounter Group
Ten systolic blood pressure readings were manually obtained 5 min. before and 5 min. after both a 3-hr. encounter group and a 3-hr. general discussion meeting. Ss were 32 male addicts who were drug-free residents in a therapeutic community. Results showed significant elevations of pressure before and significant decreases following the encounter only. However, assertions that the encounter group influences emotions must be tempered by the possibi…
Therapeutic Community for Drug Addicts, Long-Term Measurement of Emotional Changes
Emotional ratings were obtained each month on 40 male and 10 female addicts who remained in a therapeutic community program and 45 who dropped out. For both groups, “emotionality” significantly dropped over time in the program. Also, a relationship is suggested between length of stay in the program and the magnitude of the initial emotional ratings
