You have decided to open a home for dual-diagnosed clients who have graduated from a residential treatment facility and are in need of housing. You want to be able to support their recovery and prevent relapse in a safe environment for approximately 1 year per resident.

• Use the library, course materials, and Web resources to research the treatment needs of the population that you want to serve in your home.
• CREATE a proposal that provides a viable plan to serve the clients' needs using scientifically supported models of treatment. Address the following:
  • Explain how the home will meet the needs of your clients.
  • Describe the type of clients who are dually diagnosed (drugs of choice and type of mental illness).
  • Are your clients adults or adolescents (age)?
  • Are your clients males or females (gender)?
