title: A community response to the needs of drug users. Stand Up Harlem.
abstract: In our first article reporting the results of a study by Health/PAC's Drug Treatment Policy Project, "Toward a Client-Centered Understanding of Drug Treatment" (Fall 1993 issue), we discussed the general inadequacy of public drug treatment services in New York City and the myriad obstacles that exist to obtaining treatment. This article maintains the client-centered perspective in examining an alternative approach that has been successful in helping drug users.
