| Summary |
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of which interventions work in assessing and treating substance-abusing criminal offenders. The volume presents practical information on both traditional and cutting-edge approaches to treating offenders, including women, juveniles, and those with the dual diagnosis of substance abuse and mental disorder. Because most substance abuse treatment today is provided to the criminal population, there is a need for resources that measure the effectiveness of treatment. From assessment and diagnosis, through individual, family, and group interventions, through monitoring probationers, this book will be an essential resource for professionals working with offenders in both community-based and institutional settings.
