KEY FINDINGS RESULTING FROM A NATIONAL SURVEY OF TREATMENT RESOURCES FOR DRUG ABUSERS IN LOCAL JAILS.

Abstract

THESE FINDINGS INDICATE THAT THE DRUG PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT FORCES IN THE PAST DECADE WHICH HAS MOVED LOCAL JAILS TOWARD A MORE SOPHISTICATED ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENT FOR SERVICE DELIVERY TO INMATES. FOUR SUGGESTED MODELS OF SERVICE ARE PRESENTED AND USED AS AN ANALYTICAL TOOL FOR DESCRIBING VARIATIONS IN ADMINISTRATION AND ORGANIZATION OF SERVICE DELIVERY. A MODEL WHICH COORDINATES SERVICES DURING INCARCERATION TO THOSE IN COMMUNITIES IS RECOMMENDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
