8 The Challenge of Drug Abuse Treatment in Prisons and Jails Frank M. Tims and Carl G. Leukefeld INTRODUCTION Drug dependence and abuse among incarcerated populations is a stark reality that enormously complicates the task of rehabilitating offenders. Estimates of serious drug involvement among offenders points to the urgent need for effective interventions, and available indicators show drug use among arrestees to be at epidemic levels (Lipton et al., this volume). During the 1970s it was pointed out that only about half the Nation s State prisons offered drug abuse treatment (Tims 1981), and only about one-quarter of all jails in the United States had any provision for treatment (Newman and Price 1976). In fact, a review of the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Utilization Survey from 1976 through 1979 showed a decline in the number of available treatment slots in correctional institutions (Tims 1985). During the 1980s the prison population increased dramatically to more than half a million, and the overall prevalence of drug involvement among incarcerated offenders also rose markedly. There are numerous reasons for offering drug abuse treatment to these populations. First, there is the matter of institutional management. Newman and Price (1976) pointed out that sheriffs reported fewer administrative problems with inmates who received some treatment, usually detoxification, while in jail. Second, there was reduction in drug-seeking behavior by the incarcerated population, and third, jails and prisons offer an opportunity to engage the drug-dependent individual in a rehabilitation process. Thus, for many drug abusers, incarceration may be the only contact with treatment providers. The nature of drug dependence is a chronic, relapsing condition, and recovery is a continuing process. Although engagement in treatment may begin in a prison or jail setting, aftercare or continuing care is critically important. Thus, a model of treatment should include prerelease treatment, transitional care, and aftercare or continuing treatment. 1
