Assessing the Efficacy of Treatment Modalities in the Context of Adult Drug Courts in Four Jurisdictions in the United States, 1997-2002
Description
This study examined adult drug treatment courts. Drug
treatment courts are intended to reduce the recidivism of drug-involved
offenders by changing their drug-use habits. These courts provide a
connection between the criminal justice and treatment systems by
combining treatment with structured sanctions and rewards. Researchers
collected data between February 2001 and May 2002 on drug court
participants, treatment services and staff, and organizations involved
in drug court operations in four jurisdictions: Bakersfield, California,
Jackson County, Missouri, Creek County, Oklahoma, and St. Mary Parish,
Louisiana. Part 1, Retrospective Participant Data, contains recidivism
and treatment data on 2,357 drug treatment court participants who were
enrolled in one of the drug courts between January 1997 and December
2000. Part 2, Treatment Observation Data, contains data collected from
observations of treatment sessions at each site from May through July
2001. Part 3, Staff Survey Data, provides data obtained through surveys
of 54 treatment service staff members.
