Treatment/ Criminal Justice Program
Treatment has been shown to reduce
re-arrest rates, drug use and drug consumption, and re-incarceration
rates. To achieve these results, treatment programs for offenders
must be based on scientific principles of effective interventions.
These
principles include:
- The
use of clinical assessments to determine appropriate placement
in treatment services;
- The
use of cognitive behavior, social restructuring, and contingency
management interventions;
- The
use of compliance gaining strategies to ensure the offender
completes treatment and supervision requirements;
- The
use of procedural justice theories to deter drug use and
criminal behavior;
- The
use of drug testing to monitor compliance;
- The
use of treatment interventions that are a minimum of six
months in duration or at least two levels of care;
- The use of Treatment and supervision as partners in the delivery of services; and the use of a seamless system; this is critical to achieving
long term results, particularly criminal behavior.
