Demand Treatment! Lessons Learned
In 2000, Join Together, a project of the Boston University School of Public Health, started a national initiative to expand the demand for and access to quality drug and alcohol treatment. A majority of the 28 Demand Treatment! communities succeeded in developing and implementing strategies to drive up the demand for treatment even as the availability of treatment for substance use disorders continued to decline nationwide.
Join Together, with funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, administered small monetary awards and provided focused attention to leadership groups in fourteen communities starting in 2000, and another fourteen in 2002. Each community was required to work with partners that included public relations firms, media, and local business leaders to meet these goals.
