Popis:	The present paper describes client engagement issues encountered in a research demonstration program that provides treatment for homeless polydrug users in Philadelphia. To better understand the reasons for premature program disengagement, various points of attrition in the subject recruitment and program sequence were identified, process evaluation data were used to closely monitor attrition, client interviews with program dropouts were conducted, and feedback was solicited from staff. In response to the problem, a multi-pronged strategy was formulated to reduce the number of clients leaving prior to completing treatment, and to increase the number who reengage with the program.
