simply explains a politics-administration dichotomous relationship that it is there in the modern public service management and it is no way to go. What matters most is the relationship between the levels of operation as their common denominator is to serve the public’s interests through policies and programs. A balancing or neutral point should be found and maintained by both in discharging public duties. During the development of the Wilsonian Theory of Dichotomy, it is as if on the high ways…

substance abuse. In the human service system substance abuse is one problem that patients have, need treatment for, and require education on. The human service system has a models of service delivery that is broken into three parts: the medical model, the public health model, and the human service model.
