Chapter Two, Local Alternatives to Commitment and Private Placement, presents information on the Associated Marine Institutes day treatment program, the Seattle-based Homebuilders program, and the KEY outreach and tracking program. Chapter Three Alternatives to the California Youth Authority features Pennsylvania's alternative rehabilitation communities.
