The integration of harm reduction Into abstinence-based therapeutic communities: a case study of 'We Help Ourselves', Australia

ISBN 9290612207

This particular case study looks at how one therapeutic community has come to terms with HIV and its implications for drug-dependent people working towards a drug-free lifestyle. In doing so, the case study addresses the accusation that there is a dichotomy between abstinence and harm reduction. No such dichotomy exists, as this case study shows.
