Treatment Motivation Predicts Substance Use Treatment Retention Across Individuals with and Without Co-Occurring Mental Illness
Perceptions about Recovery Needs and Drug-Avoidance Recovery Behaviors among Youth in Substance Abuse Treatment
Findings highlight essential aspects of recovery in terms of need and drug-avoidance behaviors considered important to youth in treatment. Such information will help to better address clinical and recovery support models aimed at relapse prevention to ensure that the perceived problems of substance-abusing youth are adequately met
Offender Diversion Into Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Objectives. We determined the costs and savings attributable to the California Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (SACPA), which mandated probation or continued parole with substance abuse treatment in lieu of incarceration for adult offenders convicted of nonviolent drug offenses and probation and parole violators. Methods. We used individually linked, population-level administrative data to define intervention and control cohorts of offen…
Understanding Recovery Barriers
Youth perceptions about relapse during treatment should be used to better inform clinical approaches and shape early-intervention recovery agendas for substance-abusing youth
The Relative Role of Perceived Partner Risks in Promoting Condom Use in a Three-City Sample of High-Risk, Low-Income Women
We examined the effect of women's perceptions of sexual partner risks on condom use. Women from three US cities (n = 1,967) were recruited to provide data on HIV risks. In univariate models, increased odds of condom use were associated with perceiving that partners had concurrent partners and being unaware of partners': (a) HIV status, (b) bisexuality, (c) concurrency; and/or (d) injection drug use. In multivariate models, neither being unaware o…
Mental Health Need and Substance Abuse Problem Risk
Recipients of welfare benefits have elevated rates of mental health and substance-related problems relative to the general public; however, low acculturation among Latinos may be a protective factor for both conditions. Lower acculturation among Latinos is associated with lower levels of mental health and substance-related problems relative to highly acculturated individuals. To our knowledge, there are few published studies examining the potenti…
The Life Course Perspective on Drug Use
This article discusses the life course perspective on drug use, including conceptual and analytic issues involved in developing the life course framework to explain how drug use trajectories develop during an individual's lifetime and how this knowledge can guide new research and approaches to management of drug dependence. Central concepts include trajectories marked by transitions and social capital and turning points influencing changes. The l…
Criminal Justice Treatment Admissions for Methamphetamine Use in California
Methamphetamine (MA) use is considered as one of the nation's most pressing drug problems. In California, MA use has outstripped all other drugs in epidemiological extent, law enforcement activities, and treatment services demand. An opportunity for further study of MA use and its treatment emerged from a change in offender sentencing options introduced by California's Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (SACPA). Results indicate tha…
Impact of California’s Proposition 36 on the Drug Treatment System
Objectives. California’s Proposition 36 offers nonviolent drug offenders community-based treatment as an alternative to incarceration or probation without treatment. We examined how treatment capacity changed to accommodate Proposition 36 clients and whether displacement of other clients was an unintended consequence. Methods. Treatment admissions were compared for the year before and 2 years after the law was enacted. Surveys of county administr…
Two-Year Outcomes of Treatment for Methamphetamine Use
While evaluation research supports the general effectiveness of substance abuse treatment, there is not a comprehensive literature on treatment effectiveness for methamphetamine (MA) use. The authors consider three outcome measures--MA use, criminal activity, and employment--compared across three periods: 24-months pretreatment, during treatment, and 24-months post-treatment. Data are from an intensive natural history interview conducted two to t…
Methamphetamine use behaviors and gender differences
Recidivism Among an Early Cohort of California's Proposition 36 Offenders
Research Summary: In November 2000, California voters approved the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (SACPA), also known as “Proposition 36,” which gives adults convicted of nonviolent drug possession offenses the option of participating in drug treatment in lieu of incarceration. Using data from an earlier evaluation of community treatment programs, we examined the subsample of clients admitted to drug treatment during the law's first six…
The California Substance Abuse Research Consortium
When research results are passively presented in the policy world, especially when policy is tied to politics, researchers are often surprised and disappointed that officials do not attend to the obvious applications of their work. Active, timely, bidirectional exchange of information among parties is crucial. However, many contextual influences inhibit exchange efforts and must be recognized and understood in order to be overcome. Obstacles incl…
Medical and Mental Health Services Utilization among Requalified and Former Drug Addiction and Alcoholism Recipients of SSI
This article examines the impact of the elimination of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) drug addiction and alcoholism (DA&A) disability category–-and the consequent loss of Medicaid benefits by most of those terminated from SSI–-on the medical and mental health services utilization of affected individuals. Data are from a two-year, five-wave panel study of a random sample of 1,764 former DA&A recipients in nine sites. Respondents were group…

Drug Use and Risk for HIV Among Women Arrestees in California
Predictors of Relapse After Treatment for Methamphetamine Use
The purpose of this study is to describe treatment utilization and relapse and examine possible predictors of time to relapse after treatment for methamphetamine (MA) use. This analysis is based on natural history interview data from 98 subjects treated for MA use in publicly-funded programs in Los Angeles County in 1995-97 and interviewed two to three years following their treatment admission. Results showed that half of the subjects had resumed…
History of the Methamphetamine Problem
Methamphetamine, called meth, crystal, or speed, is a central nervous system stimulant that can be injected, smoked, snorted, or ingested orally; prolonged use at high levels results in dependence. Methamphetamine (MA) is a derivative of amphetamine, which was widely prescribed in the 1950s and 1960s as a medication for depression and obesity, reaching a peak of 31 million prescriptions in the United States in 1967. Until the late 1980s, illicit …

Ensuring Success in Interventions with Drug-Using Offenders
A significant proportion of crime in the United States is directly related to the use of illicit drugs. Substantial reductions in crime at all levels could be obtained by enlarging or targeting appropriate interventions for drug-using offenders. Accumulated research findings have demonstrated conclusively that treatment for drug use does work, and a growing body of evidence suggests that treatment is equally effective when imposed on drug-using c…

Perceived Need for Treatment among Pregnant and Nonpregnant Women Arrestees
Previous research has noted a high rate of drug use by women arrestees. Not only are women arrestees more likely to be found drug positive by urinalysis than are men arrestees, but in recent years, in part because of drug use, women have constituted the fastest growing population segment involved with the criminal justice system. One small but important subgroup of women arrestees are those who are pregnant and, thus, who particularly need interv…
