Editor's Note: The Medicalization of Therapeutic Communities in the Era of Health Care Reform

Pages 93-95 | Published online: 08 Jun 2012
 

Abstract

Recent health care reform legislation has prompted greater efforts to divert substance abusers to addiction treatment facilities. A major component of reform has been the acknowledgement that mental health and addiction issues must be treated on a par with medical issues. The merger of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics and Walden House offers a model for the medicalization of therapeutic communities to provide a medical home for previously underserved, marginalized populations.
