Summary

The NOHSAP-TC treatment program promoted sobriety, residential stability, and economic independence by providing case management services, temporary housing, and treatment to people experiencing homelessness and substance use disorders.

The NOHSAP-TC program served adults experiencing homelessness and substance use disorders in the greater New Orleans area. Only people who completed a seven-day detoxification program in the NOHSAP facility could enroll in TC. The detoxification program involved daily group meetings, limited assessment and case management, and an introduction to principles from Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Cocaine Anonymous. During the TC program, participants were housed in the NOHSAP residential facility. Designed to last 21 days, the program provided twice-daily group meetings, assessment and case management services, and an off-campus drug or alcohol support group. Completers of the TC program were also eligible for placement in a 12-month extended care and independent living program, which continued and amplified the services they had received in the TC program.

The program was delivered in New Orleans, LA.
