The social community model represents an alternative paradigm, which when integrated with public health concepts, affords a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing AOD-related problems. The objective of the program evaluation is to determine whether reductions occur in problems associated with selected high-risk environments in the community following environmental change initiatives. The selections assembled for this book examine the development, practice, and trends of social model recovery programs. The text brings together the writings of several pioneers in the field, from early statements on the nature of social model programs to proposals that human behavior is shaped by the context in which it occurs.
