Risk Reducing

A review of recent study in drug abuse treatment suggests that by the 1980s there had developed a concern about melding drug abuse treatment techniques with strategies drawn from the field of mental health. The emergence of AIDS has made it necessary to augment treatment objectives to include containment of HIV infection as an appropriate goal and develop innovative strategies appropriate to achieving that goal. There is a review of new models of service delivery that can be initiated and/or have been initiated in three areas: outreach/recruitment of IV drug users and their cohabitants, education/counseling with regard to risk-reducing behaviors, and extending the period of treatment influence. The impact of AIDS on program administrators and line staff is also discussed.

This study examined the sex-role attitude of the drug abuse treatment counselor as a function of the sex of the counselor, the sex of the client, and the treatment approach (drug free versus methadone maintenance). Two versions of a stimulus vignette depicting a typical client, identical except for the sex of the client, were developed. Counselors rated this hypothetical client on an author developed Attitude Toward Addiction Scale. Findings indicated that: 1) male counselors viewed clients of both sexes more negatively than did female counselors; 2) male clients were viewed more negatively than female clients by counselors of both sexes; 3) counselors in drug free treatment programs viewed clients more negatively than did counselors in methadone maintenance programs; and 4) counselors with less education had more negative attitudes.
