“…Census Bureau (2000). Employment for drug misusers has been associated with improved retention in treatment (Platt, 1995), increased abstinence (Ginexi, Foss, & Scott, 2003; Scorzelli, 2007; Sterling et al, 2001), and improved social functioning (Sterling et al, 2001).

These findings converge with the voices of veterans who’ve described employment as a critical component of recovery from substance use (Drebing et al, 2004).…”
