Women's Prison TC: Outcomes, Process & Economic Analysis
The major aim of the project is to document and evaluate two treatments for female offenders
with substance abuse problems (TC and cognitive behavioral), simultaneously studying the
process of treatment, and relating treatment process to treatment outcome.
The number and proportion of substance abusing women in prison are increasing, creating a
need for programs tailored to this population, and for evaluation of such programs. The
specific aims of this project are: 1) to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the effectiveness
of prison TC treatment as compared to cognitive behavioral treatment for substance abusing
women offenders; 2) to investigate the treatment process for the target population and to
explore the relationship between the process and outcome of treatment; 3) to evaluate the
cost and cost effectiveness assess issues in obtaining and making use of aftercare services
and provide information regarding the additional contribution of aftercare treatment. The
core investigation randomly assigns female substance abusing offenders, over four years
(n=700), at the Denver Women's Correctional Facility to either a TC program, Recovery By
Choice, the experimental (E) condition (n=350), or to a non-TC cognitive behavioral program,
the comparison (C) condition
