       Conclusion : the revolution's aftermath. 
520    In the 1960s, as illegal drug use grew from a fringe issue
       to a pervasive public concern, a new industry arose to 
       treat the addiction epidemic. Over the next five decades, 
       the industry's leaders promised to rehabilitate the 
       casualties of the drug culture even as incarceration rates
       for drug-related offenses climbed. In this history of 
       addiction treatment, Claire D. Clark traces the political 
       shift from the radical communitarianism of the 1960s to 
       the conservatism of the Reagan era, uncovering the 
       forgotten origins of today's recovery movement. Based on 
       extensive interviews with drug-rehabilitation 
       professionals and archival research, The Recovery 
       Revolution locates the history of treatment activists' 
       influence on the development of American drug policy. 
       Synanon, a controversial drug-treatment program launched 
       in California in 1958, emphasized a community-based 
       approach to rehabilitation. Its associates helped develop 
       the therapeutic community (TC) model, which encouraged 
       peer confrontation as a path to recovery. As TC treatment 
       pioneers made mutual aid profitable, the model attracted 
       powerful supporters and spread rapidly throughout the 
       country. The TC approach was supported as part of the 
       Nixon administration's "law-and-order" policies, favored 
       in the Reagan administration's antidrug campaigns, and 
       remained relevant amid the turbulent drug policies of the 
       late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. While 
       many contemporary critics characterize American drug 
       policy as simply the expression of moralizing conservatism
       or a mask for racial oppression, Clark recounts the 
       complicated legacy of the "ex-addict" activists who turned
       drug treatment into both a product and a political symbol 
       that promoted the impossible dream of a drug-free America.
