The authors describe an eductional program that is an integral part of a residential drug rehabilitation program. They believe that effective treatment of drug addiction must provide individuals with the opportunity to acquire skills that will make it easier for them to compete in the job market when they leave the program. They discuss how the educational process serves as a treatment modality that supplements and complements the other aspects of the therapeutic community.
