Abstract
In recognition of the role of education in the process of the social reintegration of drug dependent persons, a school program has been established in three rehabilitation centers. Over 500 individuals have graduated, and a follow-up study to determine the effect that these programs have had with respect to the successful reintegration of those individuals into community life is currently underway. 3 references.
