Description
For the second written assignment of the course, you will continue in the design of your proposed model program by demonstrating your understanding of your selected population’s challenges, which negatively impact this group’s health and well-being. Based on this week’s research, conduct an assessment of the barriers, limitations, and other distinguishing features, as they exist within your community.
- Prepare a recap of the model program for your community that you originally shared in the week 2 written assignment. As stated in the Week Two directions, changes to the potential program can be made as you research and develop the focus of the program.
- Analyze and discuss at least three critical barriers that impact the health and well-being of your chosen group; one must be a micro-level (individual) barrier that is financial, one must be a macro-level (community/state) barrier that relates to access and funding for care, and the third barrier may be one of your choosing.
- Discuss at least one proposed solution for each barrier. Your solution for the micro barrier must include an analysis of various potential funding options (both independent and integrated). Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of financing resources for health care.
- Research and analyze the regulatory, legal, ethical, and accreditation requirements and issues for the service(s) offered in your proposed program. Discuss how each will impact the management of the program.
Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore you should use the same population selected in your Week Two assignment. The Week Two assignment’s contents do not need to be re-submitted with this assignment.

Recap of Model Program for People Affected By Drug and Alcohol Abuse
The proposed program from Week 2 is that of enhancing recovery without isolating the
group and ensuring that they rejoin the rest of the population. The program will be rehabilitative
in nature and will concentrate on preventing any form of relapse. The program will be an
integration of treatment based on social, physiological and economical aspects. The first step will
be erasing addiction by stimulating a life without drugs. The population will be given economic
opportunities that align with their skills to eliminate any factors that would result in a relapse.
Physiological treatment would be given to cure the diseases that resulted from past behavior in
drug and alcohol abuse.
Three Critical Barriers That Impact the Health and Well-Being of People Affected by
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Micro-Level (Individual) Barrier That Is Financial
The government makes a lot of effort to regulate addictive substances to minimize access to
drugs and preserve the health of people. There are some financial barriers that result from drug
and alcohol abuse (McGovern et al., 2006). Drug and alcohol abuse can have a heavy financial
burden on the life of an addict. The practice is expensive to maintain. For an individual to
