Daytop Fights Escapism and Drug Treatment Debate
The Daytop Village program on Staten Island led by David Deitch treats narcotics addicts with a long term regimen. It uses encounters and 20 to 40 hour marathons to challenge denial and aid recovery, with residents taking service roles and many moving on after 18 to 24 months. The program is dramatized in The Concept at Shendon Square Playhouse.
