Abstract
Social Model Programs (SMPs) were developed by non-medical, non-academic practitioners, most of whom were in recovery, and there is little published academic literature on these programs. Little is known in professional circles about ℌsocial modelℍ as a discrete paradigm, and what is known is often confused with other models of treatment/recovery. To clarify just what is referred to in this issue as “social model,” this paper briefly reviews key available literature and the social and political milestones that shaped the development of SMPs in California. A brief description of the qualitative methodology underlying all of the papers in this special issue is also included.
