FEDERAL PRISON RESIDENTIAL DRUG TREATMENT REDUCES SUBSTANCE USE AND ARRESTS AFTER RELEASE^*

Abstract

Without controlling for selection bias, the effects of treatment would most likely have been attenuated. The results have greater generalizability than other studies of prison-based treatment. This study occurred within a multisite context of 20 programs serving both male and female inmates and operating within different security levels and different geographic regions.

From Corrections to Communities as an HIV Priority

“…51,52 Although therapy is available, there are considerable contraindications, side effects, complex administration schedules, and incomplete efficacy. Finally, numerous studies argue for drug abuse treatment [53][54][55] ; currently, drug-free programs have been the norm in the U.S., and efforts to offer methadone in the correctional setting have been limited. 56,57 Improving access to methadone maintenance in corrections settings is warranted.…”

Modified TC for MICA offenders: crime outcomes

“…Similarly, support has been found for the effectiveness of intensive prison treatment integrated with aftercare for those with more severe crime and drug histories and poorer education and employment backgrounds. Nevertheless, several authors have suggested that selection bias may be influencing these outcomes (Nemes, Wish, Wraight, & Messina, 2002;Pelissier et al, 1998;Pelissier et al, 2000;Pelissier et al, 2001;Wexler et al, 1999b), indicating a need for either better controlled studies or analytic strategies that take selection bias and other threats to validity into account.The modified TC prison and aftercare programs (described fully by Sacks, Sacks, & Stommel, 2003b) examined in this paper evolved from three sources. First is the body of work produced by De Leon and colleagues, which provides a full description of the TC for the addictions, the conceptual framework, program model, and treatment interventions (De Leon, 1984, 1989, 1996 De Leon & Jainchill, 1981-82, 1992De Leon, Skodol, & Rosenthal, 1973;De Leon et al, 1982).…”
