Summary:One of a series of five commentaries on an article in the same journal issue by Stan Einstein, "Drug User Treatment Failure Blindness?", pages 1532-1537. The original article provides a historic ethnographic case study of a 'failed' single goal (abstinence) based individual and group therapy treatment of a New York City, Harlem-based, single, young-adult of color, IDU, mother, which ended in 'death by overdose,' after a period of abstinence. The need to introduce failure analysis, blindness and management, as well as success analysis, blindness and management, as integral parts of treatment planning, implementation and assessment is raised.
