Joseph Guydish
is Associate Adjunct Professor of Medicine at UCSF. Dr. Guydish directed a treatment program in 1979-80, and is familiar with constraints faced by community-based treatment agencies. He led a randomized trial of drug abuse day treatment (NIDA R18 DA06979, PI Werdegar) in 1990-95, and more recently has led three studies evaluating changes in substance abuse treatment systems. These projects were designed to increase access to publicly funded treatment through countywide assessment and referral (CSAT U95-TI006669), to increase access to treatment for drug-involved women offenders (CSAT UD8-TI11215), and to increase treatment access through "Treatment on Demand" (NIDA R01 DA12221). In the past two years he served as scientific advisor to the California State Office of Alcohol and Drug Programs on a statewide evaluation of the Drug Court Partnership Program, including the development of a quarterly reporting system. He also serves as Research Director of the California Collaborative Center on Substance Abuse Policy Research (CCCSAPR) and his work has been published in prominent medical and public health journals. Through these projects Dr. Guydish has gained substantive knowledge of publicly funded substance abuse treatment systems, the interrelationship between substance abuse treatment and criminal justice systems, and strategies for changing these systems.
