Re-Entry MTC for Offenders With MICA Disorders
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Mental Disorders, Substance-Related Disorders
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine the transition of offenders with both mental illness and chemical abuse (MICA) disorders from prison to the community, where continued treatment is generally considered necessary to sustain gains made by prison treatment, and to achieve successful outcomes. The project will determine the effectiveness of a modified therapeutic community (Re-Entry MTC) approach as compared to the case management and parole supervision currently provided. The study will also assess the relative impact on treatment outcomes of the type of treatment received while in prison and of the progress achieved in re-entry treatment.
