Abstract

This article provides a narrative account of my experience with The Camp Approach for treating alcohol dependent individuals in rural India. The major themes that emerged were the differences and the similarities between work in rural and urban areas; the active participation of families and everyone that lived in the village in supporting the person's sobriety; and the clients, families and villagers reverence, and conformity to the social worker, as a motivating force for sobriety.
