Setting the bar low

41% of MMT recipients (on MMT for an average of 5 years) receiving employment counseling reported obtaining ANY paid employment over a period of 6 months. This is evidence of the efficacy of the employment counseling program. Shameful.

I understand that people involved in this project are probably full of good intentions, but tinkering with a system that is failing these people is not the answer. Change the system! The glue holding this together is the belief that these patients are incapable of doing any better.
