Question: How do the Beyond Zero Tolerance and SafetyFirst programs differ from the more traditional drug prevention programs like DARE? What harm reduction principles do you see in Beyond Zero Tolerance or SafetyFirst? What is your personal reaction to these types of non-traditional prevention programs? In this week's reading by Marlatt, Blume, and Parks, they outlined the basic principles of harm reduction therapy, as well as some of the details regarding how drug treatment practitioners can implement harm reduction principles into their day-to-day clinical work with drug users. Which principle of harm reduction therapy resonated with you the most and why? What do you see as the most important difference(s) between traditional drug treatment and a harm reduction approach to treatment? What is it about a harm reduction approach to drug treatment that keeps it from becoming mainstream and widely accepted in the United States?
