abstract: 'The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological

  self-sufficiency (PSS) process among low-income individuals

  participating in the Transforming Impossible into Possible (TIP) program

  and explore the implications of TIP as a SUD recovery intervention. A

  sample of 622 individuals from 9 local job training programs in a large

  Midwestern city was used to examine the group differences in substance

  abuse barrier and employment hope as they relates to economic

  self-sufficiency (ESS). Individuals in the TIP program (n = 315) had

  statistically significant path coefficients between substance abuse

  barriers, employment hope and ESS while the non-TIP counterpart (n =

  307) showed a significant path only between employment hope and ESS.

  Also, the time difference score in substance abuse barrier and ESS was

  greater for the TIP group compared to the non-TIP comparison group.

  Results provide implications for social work practice among persons with

  SUDs. While the traditional employment programs focused only on the

  interview and job skills, TIP allowed participants to discover their

  resources to address the inner obstacles that have been holding them

  back. TIP could serve as a promising model to treat SUDs and support the

  recovery process.'
