Addicts will continue to use regardless of everything that is happening to them and happening around them. They may drain the family bank account, lose their job, fail in school, damage relationships, ruin their health, or run into problems with the law.

Research spanning more than 30 years has identified key concepts, beliefs, clinical and educational practices, and program components common to most TC programs. These elements reflect the two principles that drive TC operation: the community as change agent and the efficacy of self help.

Typically, TCs residential facilities separate from other programs and located away from the drug related environment. As a participant in the community, the resident in treatment is expected to adhere to strict and explicit behavioral norms. These norms are reinforced with specificcontingencies (rewards and punishments) directed toward developing self control and responsibility. The resident will progress through a hierarchy of increasingly important roles, with greater privileges and responsibilities. Other aspects of the TC's "Community as method" therapeutic approach focus on changing negative patterns of thinking and behavior through individual and group therapy, group sessions with peers, community-based learning, confrontation, games and role playing.

TC members are expected to become role models who actively reflect the values and teaching of the community. Ordered routine activities are intended to counter the characteristically disordered lives of these residents and teach them how to plan, set and achieve goals and be accountable.

Ultimately, participation in a TC is designed to help people appropriately and constructively identify, express, and manage their feelings. The concepts of "right living" (learning personal and social responsibility and ethics) and "acting as if" (behaving as the person should be rather than has been) are integrated into the TC groups, meetings, and seminars. These activities are intended to heighten awareness of specific attitudes or behaviors and their impact on oneself and the social environment.

TCs are physically and programmatically designed to emphasize the experience of community within the residence. Newcomers are immersed in the community and must fully participate in it. It is expected that in doing so, their identification with and ties to their previous drug-using life will lessen and assimilate new prosocial attitudes, behaviors and responsibilities.

Although the residential capacity of TCs can vary widely, a typical program in a community-based setting accommodates 40 to 80 people. Some for example situated on the grounds of former camps and ranches or in suburban houses. Others have been established in jails, prisons and shelters. Larger agencies may support several facilities in different settings to meet various clinical and administrative needs.

There is an average of one counselor reported for every 11 residents in treatment. About two-thirds of the counseling staff had themselves successfully completed drug abuse treatment programs. Increasingly, TCs rely on degreed staff (e.g. Social workers, Nurses & Psychologists) for some aspects of treatments.

Stage1. Introduction and early treatment typically occurs during the first 30 days to assimilate the individual into TC. The new residents learns TC policies and procedures; establishes trust with staff and other residents; imitated an assisted personal assessment of self, circumstances, and needs; begins to understand the nature of addiction; and should begin to commit to the recovery process.

Stage2. Primary Treatment often uses a structured model of progression through increasing levels of prosocial attitudes, behaviors, and responsibilities. The TC may use interventions to change the individual attitudes, perceptions and behaviors related to drug use and to address the social, educational, vocational, familial, and psychological needs of the individual.

Stage3. Re Entry is intended to facilitate the individual's separation from the TC and successful transition to the larger society. A TC graduate leaves the program drug-free and employed or in school. Post residential aftercare services may include individual and family counseling and vocational and educational guidance. Self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are often incorporated into TC treatment, and TC residents are encouraged to participate in such groups after treatment.

Daily life like in a Therapeutic Community The TC day is varied but regimented a typical TC day begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 11 p.m. and includes morning and evening house meetings, job assignments, groups, seminars, scheduled personal, time, recreation and individual counseling. As employment is considered an important element of successful participation in society, work is a distinctive component of the TC model.

In the TC, all activities and interpersonal and social interactions are considered important opportunities to facilitate individual change. These methods can be organized by their primary purpose, as follows: Clinical groups (e.g., encounter groups and retreats) use a variety of therapeutic approaches to address significant life problems.

Community meetings (e.g. morning, daily house and general meetings and seminars) review the goals, procedures and functioning of the TC.

Vocational and educational activities occur in group sessions and provide work, communication, and interpersonal skills training.

Community and clinical management activities (e.g., privileges, disciplinary sanctions, security, and surveillance) maintain the physical and psychological safety of the environment and ensure that resident life is orderly and productive.
