Unit 2 Discussion 2
Consider the following scenario.
You are attending a local town meeting. One of the agenda items is the planned establishment of a residential substance abuse treatment program in a currently abandoned building. There is much reaction from the audience, with many people expressing concern that this will become a magnet for drug addicts and result in an increase in crime and other related problems.
Based on the assigned readings for this unit, examine the role that public perceptions and attitudes play in providing adequate treatment for those with problems related to substance abuse. Specifically, answer the following questions:
· As a human service professional who both lives and works in the community, what is your reaction to this issue?
· Does your reaction differ based on your role as a professional versus your role as a resident?
· How would you respond when asked your opinion about this issue?
