Article Title：Faith-based drug and alcohol treatment providers: An exploratory study of Texan providers
Abstract：
Interest in faith-based approaches to dealing with social problems appears to be increasing, as seen in the recent bipartisan charitable choice legislation, which is designed to remove barriers that prohibit faith-based providers from applying tor government funds. In spite of this interest, relatively little research exists oil faith-based providers. Accordingly, this exploratory Study examines the characteristics of faith-based drug and alcohol treatment providers among a sample of Texan providers (N = 30). Data are provided on general program information, philosophical orientation, services, finances, staffing, and clients. The implications of the findings are discussed and directions for future research are suggested, particularly as they intersect the charitable choice legislation. (C) 2003 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
