What constitutes effective problematic substance use treatment from the perspective of people who are homeless? A systematic review and meta-ethnography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People experiencing homelessness have higher rates of problematic substance use but difficulty engaging with treatment services. There is limited evidence regarding how problematic substance use treatment should be delivered for these individuals.
