Popis:	There are approximately 100 Veterans Industries work therapy programs in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) throughout the U.S. The majority of participants are veterans with severe substance use disorders and their length of stay ranges from 3 to 12 months. This study examines the Veterans Industries work therapy model at one site where veterans are referred from an addictions partial hospitalization treatment program. The study period was from 1996--97 and includes 80 patients. The characteristics of the participants are described. Barriers to employment are identified including unemployment rates, homelessness, drug of choice, age, and disability status. Outcome rates are reported including employment, abstinence, and housing support.
