ABSTRACT The process of reintegrating back into society can be a difficult time for formerly incarcerated individuals in desisting from substance use. Although prior work has shown that experiences like securing employment or abstaining from criminal peers can help individuals desist from substance use, one aspect about which criminologists know considerably less concerns the role of substance abuse treatment programming during reentry. Using the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative data, we explore the role of substance treatment programming on substance use through multiple avenues. Namely, we investigate the impact of substance abuse treatment during prison, during reentry, and over time. Results of longitudinal models demonstrate that individuals who participated in pre-release substance abuse treatment programming report significantly lower levels of substance use than those who did not participate in pre-release substance programming. Yet, we find that individuals who participated in substance treatment programming post-release reported significantly higher levels of substance use than those who did not participate in post-release programming. Finally, we find no evidence that substance use treatment programming relates to decreases in substance use across time.

滥用药物治疗实际上是“治疗”吗？再入过程中释放前和释放后药物滥用规划的有效性

摘要对于以前被监禁的个人而言，要戒除毒品的使用，重返社会的过程可能会很困难。尽管先前的工作表明，诸如获得就业或对犯罪同伴弃权之类的经验可以帮助个人戒除毒品使用，但犯罪学家对此知之甚少的一个方面是有关毒品滥用治疗程序在重返过程中的作用。使用“严重和暴力犯罪再入倡议”数据，我们通过多种途径探索了药物处理程序在药物使用中的作用。即，我们调查了在监狱，再入狱期间以及一段时间内滥用药物的影响。纵向模型的结果表明，参与释放前药物滥用治疗计划的人报告的药物使用水平显着低于未参与释放前药物计划的人。但是，我们发现，与未参与发布后程序设计的人员相比，参与发布后药物处理程序的人员的药物使用水平显着提高。最后，我们没有发现证据表明药物使用治疗方案与整个时间的药物使用减少有关。我们发现，与未参与发布后程序设计的人员相比，参与发布后药物处理程序的人员报告的物质使用水平显着提高。最后，我们没有发现证据表明药物使用治疗方案与整个时间的药物使用减少有关。我们发现，与未参与发布后程序设计的人员相比，参与发布后药物处理程序的人员报告的物质使用水平显着提高。最后，我们没有发现证据表明药物使用治疗方案与整个时间的药物使用减少有关。
