Interagency Priorities at the Crossroads: Aftercare Among Drug Users

Topic:
Volume 68 Number 1
Date:
Abstract:

Three-quarters of the inmates housed in state and federal prison in 1997 could be categorized as alcohol- or drug-involved, yet only about 20 percent of those within six months of release report having received treatment. The recent focus on reentry draws attention to the issue of treatment after release from prison and the more general topic of collaboration between various criminal justice agencies in addressing reentry requirements.
