BACKGROUND: Women offenders with substance abuse problems typically have many treatment needs on reentry to the community from prison. This paper explores the correlates of treatment needs among a sample of women offenders with substance-abuse problems (n = 1,404), and the relationship between their treatment needs and other background characteristics with completion of community-based treatment after parole.
METHODS: Treatment needs were assessed at admission into prison-based substance abuse treatment; participants were admitted into community-based treatment upon parole. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used to examine their treatment needs; logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors related to completion of the aftercare program. Analysis of variance was used to examine ethnic differences in treatment needs.
RESULTS: Greater treatment needs were associated with unstable housing before incarceration, a history of sexual or physical abuse, mental health problems, alcohol or drug dependence, and first arrest at age <19; lower treatment needs were associated with having been mandated to prison-based treatment (versus volunteering). Mental health problems and earlier age at first arrest predicted treatment noncompletion. Drug dependence was associated with higher treatment needs and a greater likelihood of treatment completion, whereas African American and Hispanic ethnicity were both associated with lower treatment needs (compared with Whites) and a lower likelihood of treatment completion.
CONCLUSIONS: Interventions are needed to engage substance-abusing women offenders in community treatment after parole to address their treatment needs, improve their retention in treatment, and reduce the likelihood of recidivism.
