“…The results indicated that TC participants were less likely to recidivate than those who did not participate. While this suggests TCs may be more effective than other drug treatment programs, the knowledge of how these various programs compare is limited, as TCs have been evaluated most frequently (Farabee, Rawson, & Gawad, 2015).…”

Despite the prevalence of substance dependence in incarcerated populations and the correlation between substance use and crime, only 11% receive substance abuse treatment, even as treatment participation may help reduce institutional misbehavior and postrelease recidivism. The current research examined the influence of individual and program factors on substance abuse treatment participation and prison misconducts in a state prison system. Based on analyses of administrative data from 2012 to 2015 and program data, the findings support previous research documenting participant characteristics as predictors of misconducts. In addition, program training requirements significantly predicted misconducts. Implications and research recommendations are discussed.

“…While some prisons offer no treatment for OUD whatsoever, others offer psychosocial therapies — mostly in groups, due to the cost of individualized therapy — which is not as effective as MAT. 152 Some studies have found that counseling by itself does not have any effect on illicit opioid use, 153 while others have found that the rate and intensity of counseling while on MAT has no effect on treatment retention or use of illicit opioids. 154 Thus, while psychosocial therapies may be a compliment to MAT, the evidence strongly indicates that MAT is in fact the foundational treatment for OUD.…”

“…Incarceration-based drug treatment encompassed a wide range of programs, such as group and individual counselling, methadone replacement therapy and therapeutic communities. Results from meta-analysis (Farabee, Rawson, & Gawad, 2015) suggest that therapeutic communities are effective in reducing drug use and re-offending after release.…”

“…Being a chronic disorder, drug rehabilitation is a long journey which continues outside of prison facility to maintain abstinence. Studies suggest that providing treatment programs and support services after release reduced drug use and re-offending (Farabee, Rawson, & Gawad, 2015). Apart from formal services, support from family is highly desirable.…”

Risk-Need-Responsitivity (RNR) framework is one of the most widely applied framework in correctional rehabilitation. It is common for offenders to present multiple needs for intervention, however, RNR framework provide little guidance on the design for intervention programs in such cases. Especially for drug offenders, the well-documented relationship between drug and crime suggest interplay between drug abuse and criminal thinking. Apart from the drug-crime nexus, familial relationship supports the rehabilitation journey for drug offenders. The current study examined whether change via an intervention that targets the three areas could be related. Secondary data from 327 male inmates above the age of 18, incarcerated due to drug-related offence was used. The data was collected as part of a larger evaluation study on interventions for drug offenders by Singapore Prison Service. The results suggested that better familial relationship at pre-intervention could increase the rate of change for criminal thinking and drug abuse. Rate of change in criminal thinking and drug abuse were positively correlated, suggesting that the two needs could be targeted together.
