Reviews
Stephens, Scott and Muck have set a high standard of excellence in describing the evaluation of efforts to re-engineer complex health and human service systems. This is a 'must read' for planners, policy makers, evaluators, and treatment program administrators looking for ways to improve the quality of addiction treatment in urban communities. - Evaluation and Program Planning What I like most about the book is that it provides the drug field with some useful outcome data on a very large-and expensive-government initiative. We don't see many comprehensive evaluations like this. It makes a nice contribution to the literature. - James A. Inciardi, author of The War on Drugs III: The Continuing Saga of the Mysteries and Miseries of Intoxication, Addiction, Crime, and Public Policy
