Abstract: This project's activities are undertaken within a comprehensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation model in which clinicians and consumers interact at a systems level and client interventions are individualized. The model of services seeks, and actively solicits, participation from various elements within the community. The various partners providing input include public and private vocational rehabilitation service providers, drug abuse treatment providers, physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals, consumer-oriented organizations, and governmental agencies. The research population of the RTC are those individuals who abuse substances other than alcohol, although alcohol abuse may be present. The model has particular applicability to people facing multiple risks due to medication use, illicit substance abuse, and other conditions of disability. Minorities, women, and people with multiple rehabilitation issues are particularly targeted for the project.
