Target Audiences

The COD service system was the primary target audience for the COCE. This system is depicted in the Figure as concentric boxes representing the various, interconnected, and interacting services that must be mobilized to meet the needs of people with COD—substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, criminal justice, education, health, homelessness/housing, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other social service needs.

The COD service system also includes the legislative and regulatory context of service delivery and the broad, overarching norms and culture of practice. At the center of this system is the person with COD and his or her family, friends, and significant others. This serves as a reminder that the person with COD is the sole reason for the system's existence and for the COCE.
