Harm Reduction Treatment for Alcohol (HaRT-A) aims to help people with alcohol use disorders reduce their experience of alcohol-related harm and improve their quality of life, without requiring a focus on use reduction or abstinence. It was developed through a 3-phase community-based participatory research process with people with the lived experience of homelessness and severe alcohol use disorders and staff and management at the agencies that serve them. In this presentation, we will discuss the treatment development process, outcomes and next steps.
