Résumé :
This paper presents data from qualitative interviews of ten homeless men attending a substance abuse treatment agency in the Southeast. Each subject participated in a one time in-depth qualitative interview focused on his family background, mental health, treatment experiences, and trauma. Qualitative analyses found that this sample of substance abusing homeless men reported a high prevalence of depression, family dysfunction, trauma, and a pattern of several previous treatment experiences for substance abuse and/or mental health. Findings imply that in order to promote long-lasting positive outcomes in substance abuse recovery, mental health stability, and quality of life, treatment professionals need to address complex and interrelated issues that often surround this underserved population.
