 AB    Treatment for drug users is unlikely to receive sufficient resources to
       expand to the level of treatment need. Moreover, there is indication
       that a substantial minority of injection drug users have never initiated
       needed treatment in spite of long histories of injecting drugs. Given
       the potential for that population to contract and spread AIDS, it is
       important that we explore street-based treatment alternatives derived
       from findings regarding the efficacy of outreach/intervention programs.
       Those programs were found both to reduce drug-taking behaviors of
       injecting drug users and to prepare those users for clienthood.
       Additional strategies that need to be explored include: aftercare,
       behavioral counseling for sex partners of drug treatment clients, and
       partial (i.e., survival) treatment services for clients who cannot be
       accommodated within existing treatment capacity.
