Drug rehabilitation programs in New York City encompass every form of treatment modality to be found in the field. As of September 1972, approximately 50,000 addicts were being treated. Estimates of the total number of addicts in New York City range from 150,000 to 300,000. There is little coordination among the various governmental and private treatment agencies, and they all compete for the same funds. The majority of New York City addicts and ex-addicts come from minority groups, with low academic achievement, low job skills, and often with a criminal history. This is the principal target population for in-treatment and post-treatment educational and occupational concerns. Two models for an interface among education, employment, and treatment are presented, one for an occupational and educational information referral service for treatment programs and the other for an employment service. The delivery system for the two models would be an independent nonprofit agency designed to serve as an intermediary between the treatment programs and the educational and occupational institutions. Relevant data would be handled by a computer system and suggestions for implementation are given along with an estimated budget. (MF)
