Acknowledgments

During the Substance Abuse Coverage Study, many individuals shared ideas and information with the study committee. The most important contributions in this respect were of two sorts: participation in two symposia organized by the committee in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 1988, and in Irvine, California, on October 4, 1988, and hosting of site visits by committee members and staff in six states during the intervening months.

The symposia gave the committee an opportunity to hear from and question closely a selection of knowledgeable individuals involved with drug treatment programs in a variety of roles such as clinical services, research, administration, third-party funding, and referral. These events gave the committee opportunities to hear not only individual presentations but also the participants' counterpoints to each other's and to the committee's tentative points of view. These exchanges breathed life into the committee's images of the treatment system, and committee members are grateful to all of the symposium participants for taking part in these important formative events.

Present at the Washington symposium were the following:

M. Douglas Anglin, Drug Abuse Research Group, University of California, Los Angeles

Patricia Armocida, Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association, Chicago, Illinois

John C. Ball, Addiction Research Center, Baltimore, Maryland

Lee Grutchfield, Human Resource Development, Continental Airlines, Houston, Texas

Norman Hoffmann, Chemical Addiction/Abuse Treatment Outcome Registry, The Ramsey Clinic, St. Paul, Minnesota

Don Jones, Consulting and Continuing Education Department, Hazelden Foundation, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Jill Klobucar, Human Affairs International, Arlington, Virginia

Richard J. Russo, New Jersey State Department of Health, Trenton

Steven Sharfstein, Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland

Bruce Vander Els, Milliman and Robertson, Radnor, Pennsylvania

The committee's hosts during site visits to cities across the country offered a degree of cooperation, hospitality, and candor in response to the committee's questions that made a deep and lasting impression. The hosts received assurance that no comments or observations would be attributed to specific individuals or organizations and that individual anonymity would be full preserved. Many of those visited indicated that such assurances were not a precondition for their cooperation; nevertheless, these guarantees have been observed in the report, and the committee feels that it is important to uphold them here. Therefore, names of the many individual hosts in whose debt the study remains are not included here. The committee wishes, however, at least to signal the extent of their contributions by expressing its thanks to each of the following organizations for permitting access to their staff and facilities:

AIDS Outreach Project, Portland, Oregon

Treating Drug Problems: Volume 2 presents a wealth of incisive and accessible information on the issue of drug abuse and treatment in America.

Several papers lay bare the relationship between drug treatment and other aspects of drug policy, including a powerful overview of twentieth century narcotics use in America and a unique account of how the federal government has built and managed the drug treatment system from the 1960s to the present. Two papers focus on the criminal justice system.

The remaining papers focus on:

  • Employer policies and practices toward illegal drugs.
  • Patterns and cycles of cocaine use in subcultures and the popular culture.
  • Drug treatment from a marketing, supply-and-demand perspective, including an analysis of policy options.

Treating Drug Problems: Volume 2 provides important information to policy makers and administrators, drug treatment specialists, and researchers.
