Abstract:

"study after study...have shown the Drug Courts, in spite of their hug-a-thug reputation, have been more effective at keeping addicts off drugs and away from committing crimes than anything else the criminal justice system has ever thrown at them." The U.S Department of Justice calculates that 'close to 100,000 drug dependent offenders have entered drug court programs...and over seventy percent are either still enrolled or have graduated - more than double the rate of traditional treatment program retention rates. (Shavelson, Lonny, Hooked, 2001, p.251) How can traditional treatment programs work with the criminal justice system to achieve these break through rates of retention?
