Substance Abuse

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the how service networks can improve access and delivery of substance abuse treatment services to adult women drug convicts. It considers a range of defined substance abuse treatment services, incorporated within criminal justice treatment networks. It seeks to determine whether these have provided measurable improvements in systems when compared to the previously fragmented approaches that existed within communities. Information from relevant scholarly sources, observations, conclusions and recommendations that have come out of a number of studies, including both state-based and federal agencies, is considered. The case study that forms the centerpiece of this paper is an examination that commenced in 1995 and was undertaken over five years by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

From the Paper:

"To examine the potential of networks to improve substance abuse treatment access and service delivery to adult, substance-abusing female offenders, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment funded four communities over five years (fiscal 1995 - 2000) to create and implement the Criminal Justice Treatment Networks (CJTN) demonstration program. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment identified the target population for the demonstration program as adult female substance-abusing offenders."
