Treatment for drug users is unlikely to receive sufficient resources to expand to the level of treatment need. Moreover, there is indication that a substantial minority of injection drug users have never initiated needed treatment in spite of long histories of injecting drugs. Given the potential for that population to contract and spread AIDS, it is important that we explore street-based treatment alternatives derived from findings regarding the efficacy of outreach/intervention programs. Those programs were found both to reduce drug-taking behaviors of injecting drug users and to prepare those users for clienthood. Additional strategies that need to be explored include: aftercare, behavioral counseling for sex partners of drug treatment clients, and partial (i.e., survival) treatment services for clients who cannot be accommodated within existing treatment capacity.
