Abstract

Although evaluations have found prison treatment programs to be generally effective, most studies report that paroled graduates of these programs are much more likely to remain drug-free if they receive continuing treatment in the community. This article reviews research findings on principles of effective correctional treatment and the interventions that have been shown to be effective with drug-abusing parolees or that have been tested with general drug-abusing populations and show promise for use with parolees. The article concludes with a discussion of several issues that clinicians need to consider in adopting and implementing these interventions.

  • Intensive case management is a crucial community-based service for desistance from further criminal behaviours and problematic substance use.

    “A comprehensive meta-analysis of interventions for offenders with substance use disorders highlighted intensive case management as a crucial community-based service for the desistance from further criminal behaviours and problematic substance use (Prendergast, 2009).”

    From Reducing criminal recidivism in Alaska: The Set Free Model (2023) · cites this paper as Prendergast, 2009

    The Case Management section describes case management as a community-based service, but reports mixed results for TASC programs and limited effects of other models on post-treatment drug use. The Re-Entry Interventions section says a meta-analytical review found no significant impact of case management on recidivism. That contradicts the claim that this paper’s meta-analysis highlighted intensive case management as crucial for reducing both crime and problematic substance use. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
