Clinical--correctional interface in drug abuse treatment--the Milwaukee model.
Although drug abuse treatment staff and corrections staff frequently deal with the same individuals, each has evolved a separate model for working with drug abuse clients. Maintenance of this traditional dichotomy has not been in the best interest of the client. The Milwaukee drug program has addressed this issue by integrating a full-time probation and parole agent into its clinical program. The model's implications for confidentiality, client-treatment--corrections staff role relationship and training are discussed.
