Evaluation of Drug Treatment Programs at the State Correctional Institution in Chester, Pennsylvania, 2003-2004
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the alcohol and
other drug (AOD) treatment programs at a specialized treatment prison,
the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Chester, Pennsylvania. The
Chester prison is a 1,215-bed medium security prison for male inmates
with a documented history of substance abuse. Programs included an
intensive, 12-month therapeutic community (TC) drug treatment for
high-need inmates and a 12-month outpatient (OP) program for inmates
requiring less intensive treatment. Inmates who met eligibility
criteria for the Chester facility were randomly assigned to the TC (n
= 347) or OP (n = 384) program. The researchers utilized individual
measures and outcome measures in this study.
