Italian therapeutic communities currently house more than twenty thousand addicts. Their leaders have much greater influence than those of other countries on public opinion and administrative choices. This study examines a series of some of the most significant facilities, which are classified as explicitly or implicitly therapeutic. Their histories, organizations and working methods are analyzed. A clinical discussion about the usefulness of each in treating the different types of addicts is offered at the end of the review.
