Careful consideration should be given to the position for drying in the sun.

Treatment should begin in the least restrictive setting that ensures personal safety, as it is important to maximize family involvement from the onset. In youth with SUD, family involvement increases compliance with treatment and leads to higher rates of sustained abstinence (Bergmann et ah, 1995). It is important to review with the patient and family that medication is one aspect of the treatment plan and is more likely to be effective when used in conjunction with other treatments. In addition, the clinician should also review how the medication will work, the possible side effects, and the time frame in which benefit may be expected. An informed and involved family is more likely to encourage compliance from an adolescent than one that has never met their child s treatment team. An adult caretaker and not the patient should store, administer, and monitor all prescription medications to maximize compliance and minimize the potential for abuse. 

In the construction of the wet oxidation unit, several areas of safety were considered. Of utmost importance was that of personal safety. Since this type of operation demands the use of high pressures and temperatures, operator contact with the high pressure vessels had to be limited. To accommodate this criterion, a barrier was constructed to shield the operator from any unforeseen releases from the reactor. This barrier was constructed from 1/4 inch steel and is desig ied in a manner that will fully contain any releases. This barrier is also equipped with two explosion vents to direct the force of any explosions away from the main walls and into a safe area. To further maximize personnel safety, all operator assisted controls are mounted on the outside of the unit.
