Abstract
Despite the negtive attitudes of the general public and even of professionals concerning the potential of drug-dependent youth to reintegrate socially and to be employed, there is ample and growing evidence for a more positive outlook. The vocational rehabilitation process was described which can serve as a basic tool for most drug rehabilitation programs. A number of interesting and innovative approaches, both public and private, were illustrated, which have all demonstrated some measure of positive outcome. Mention is made of the need for and great value of direct involvement of the community in the rehabilitation and reintegration process. Programs for employed drug-dependent persons are also cited as a preventive and highly effective approach.
