Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.

Download or read book Treating Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Among Homeless Men and Women written by Milton Argeriou and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand and learn how to effectively address the burgeoning social problem of homelessness, particularly among alcoholics and drug addicts. Although one study cannot provide a definitive statement on the best services for the homeless, the variety of services and evaluation approaches described in this insightful book begin the process of identifying effective recovery approaches for homeless men and women with alcohol and drug problems. Professionals involved in the development and implementation of nine community demonstration grants in Alaska, California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania reflect upon the unique needs and opportunities in their communities and explain the features of their programs in regards to clients, project services, project implementation, and evaluation. In Treating Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Among Homeless Men and Women, you will read about specially targeted programs for women, Alaskan natives, American Indians, blacks, and Hispanics, homeless individuals with mental illness, clients who use both drugs and alcohol, chronic alcoholics, and cocaine addicts. You will also observe the varying philosophical and programmatic differences; the problems of implementing programs, including community resistance and staffing issues; and the procedures for assessing the outcome of their programs. In addition to a comprehensive review of each project, this exciting new volume also includes an overview of the efforts of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism with the homeless and implications for future policy and programming decisions. An important book for health care providers, program administrators, state and local officials, researchers, and educators.

Download or read book Treatment of the Chemically Dependent Homeless written by Kendon J. Conrad and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop new programs or improve existing programs with these helpful descriptions of theoretical foundations and practical implementation of innovative projects. Treatment of the Chemically Dependent Homeless presents fourteen projects, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) in cooperation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), that were designed to develop strategies to combat the dual problems of homelessness and substance abuse, and then analyze program effectiveness. Contributors describe projects occurring in a variety of major cities and focus on the theory behind each program and its practical implementation. Treatment professionals seeking new directions for their own programs will benefit from chapters that compare conventional services with new innovative treatments. They also demonstrate how the new programs will effectively meet the needs of the target population and fill the gaps where current services fail. Treatment of the Chemically Dependent Homeless presents detailed discussions of each program's theoretical foundation, design, and implementation that will be invaluable to clinicians and researchers needing information about the complex nature of various experimental interventions. The book begins by presenting an overview of the background and rules of the NIAAA Cooperative agreement. The subsequent chapters follow a logical sequence by concentrating on one or two of the following aspects of program development: theory of treatment local political and social milieus special populations outreach strategies relapse and retention issues residential care programs case management transition to independence Doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, substance abuse counselors, and researchers who treat or study the chemically dependent homeless will value this groundbreaking information for studying, developing, and improving their own treatment programs. Teachers who seek to educate their classes regarding state-of-the-art service provision for homeless substance abusers will also find this an essential resource for innovative ideas and practical examples of program implementation.

Download or read book Responding to the Homeless written by Russell K. Schutt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to the Homeless: Policy and Practice is largely a product of a unique collaboration between Russell K. Schutt and Gerald R. Garrett and their Boston community. As such, it offers a rich perspective on the problem of homelessness that is derived from the authors' shared experience with researchers, academics, students, providers, policymakers, and homeless persons themselves. Schutt and Garrett take the reader into the shelters and acquaint him or her with the philosophical and practical dilemmas facing line workers as well as policymakers. They also take the reader into the community to better understand the housing market and the dysfunctional continuities among shelter, housing, treatment, and social supports. There are sensitive discussions of the salient health problems that too commonly touch the lives of homeless individuals, such as substance abuse and AIDS. The volume also includes clear descriptions of the sometimes elusive processes of counseling and case management for homeless individuals. The sidebars of "what to do" and "what not to do" contain useful information that will both inform and empower individuals who are working on the front lines, and inspire and prepare future caregivers. While the eminently readable organization and style of the book are sugges tive of a highly practical handbook on the basics of homelessness, the authors and their contributors have also produced a scholarly volume that is replete with current research findings, programs descriptions, case studies, and vignettes.
