<p>This book aims to&nbsp;explore&nbsp;the evidence supporting the therapeutic&nbsp;community&nbsp;(TC) modality as a uniquely effective approach to care of individuals living with opioid use disorder and other addictions,&nbsp;and also&nbsp;to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;salient mediators of improved outcome, including long-term treatment and&nbsp;removal from the opioid-associated environment. The book includes multiple international perspectives and&nbsp;is designed for worldwide appeal—for countries that have established some TCs with success, those looking to improve care, and those looking to build them for the first time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by experts in addiction psychiatry and&nbsp;medicine, this book&nbsp;describes the unique role of therapeutic communities in treating substance use disorders,&nbsp;how the model has changed over time and adapted to diverse sociocultural&nbsp;contexts and systems of care, and how the TC model&nbsp;may serve an important population in the context of&nbsp;the current opioid epidemic. The chapters are written so as&nbsp;to be accessible for clinicians across specialties and professions.</p><p></p>
