Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners. Implementation Lessons Learned

摘要

These evaluations of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program critique a Federal effort to encourage States to develop substance treatment programs for incarcerated offenders. The Corrections Program Office within the Office of Justice Programs provided invaluable support for both the RSAT program and these evaluations. This publication offers program administrators the opportunity to modify or improve programs that are working well and adjust or discontinue programs that are not performing adequately. An evaluation may reveal that a program can achieve the goal it was designed to achieve with just a few modifications. It may also reveal that the program simply is not producing enough results to justify continued funding.
