Much of the debate around 'what works' surrounding the effectiveness of drug free therapeutic communities has produced a growing body of scientific research that some might argue has taken us away from the real question of how TC methodology works.

This e-book takes this step back and starts to explore, through the client group, the true impact of being a resident and attending a TC programme.
