Description:
In this edition, the authors discuss the issue of substance abuse and homelessness as inextricably intertwined for many individuals. According to the authors, substance use is often both a precipitating factor and a consequence of being homeless. Further, individuals who are homeless rarely have substance use disorders alone. Many have serious mental illnesses, acute and chronic physical health problems, and histories of trauma. They require safe and appropriate housing, multiple interventions, and client-centered care.
