Book Overview

This is the first book that uses the latest research evidence to build guidance on community-based rehabilitation with the aim of challenging stigma and marginalisation.

Case Studies and Approach

The case studies discussed, and a strengths-based approach, emphasize the importance of long-term recovery and the role that communities and peers play in the process.

Key Topics

Best examines effective methods for community growth, offers sustainable ways of promoting social inclusion, and puts forward a new drug strategy and a new reform policy for prisons.
