Abstract
A diverse group of drug abusers in New Haven has benefited from a multifaceted treatment program at the Connecticut Mental Health Center's drug dependence unit. The unit is also involved in research, training, and community education: Treatment approaches include methadone maintenance, long- and short-term therapeutic communities, a day program for adolescents, and a low-intervention program using narcotic antagonists. Out of approximately 2400 applicants, 1600 have entered treatment, and 550 are considered drug-free program graduates. A long-term follow-up study is in progress to validate and extend those initial results.
