Mental Health Conditions, Substance Use Disorders, and Jail Readmission in Four Rural Counties
Most jails are in rural areas, and many adults who pass through these facilities experience behavioral health needs. Evidence suggests mental health conditions (MHCs) and substance use disorders (SUDs) may be linked to an increased risk for jail readmission, but most work documenting this relationship uses vague measures, outdated diagnostic information, has been conducted in large metropolitan jails, or has demonstrated significant variability b…
A prospective study of behavioral health indicators and repeat jail admissions among rural inmates
BACKGROUND: Approximately three quarters of a million adults are detained in US jails, and rural detention centers are responsible for the largest recent increases in this population. It is estimated that two thirds of jail inmates meet criteria for a substance use disorder (SUD), nearly half present symptoms consistent with a mental health condition (MHC), and the vast majority of adults in jails have been arrested and booked into these faciliti…
Opioid Use Disorders and Offending Patterns Among Local Jail Inmates
The current study was designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of opioid use disorder (OUD) and patterns of offending among adult jail inmates. Results from a random sample of 160 male inmates demonstrated a substantial proportion (73%) who met criteria for a substance use disorder were classified with OUD. Most (63%) inmates who met these criteria also reported injection of drugs. Inmates with severe OUD in addition to another substance us…

A Comparison of the DSM-5 and ICD-10 Cocaine Use Disorder Diagnostic Criteria
Identifying patterns of co-occurring substance use disorders and mental illness in a jail population
Although the co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs) is well documented among correctional populations, less explored are the actual patterns that exist between specific SUDs and additional mental health disorders in combination. This study examines prevalence and correlates of psychiatric comorbidity in incarcerated men who screened positive for a SUD and the ability of a practical structured interview to document diagn…
Integration of Treatment and Posttreatment Variables in Predicting Results of Abstinence-Based Outpatient Treatment After One Year
A multi-site, longitudinal study of patients undergoing outpatient alcohol and drug dependence treatment was conducted in private outpatient facilities, consisting of 2,029 subjects from 33 independent programs enrolled in a national addiction treatment outcomes registry. Pretreatment demographic and substance variables, treatment utilization variables, and post-treatment continuum of care variables were examined simultaneously in a multivariate …
Prevalence of Depression and Alcohol and Other Drug Dependence in Addictions Treatment Populations
The diagnosis of depression has been viewed as an important factor in the treatment response for those who have alcohol and other drug dependence. The objective of the study was to examine the prevalence of a lifetime history of major depression in inpatients with a substance use disorder in addictions treatment. An evaluation study of 6,355 patients was conducted in inpatient and outpatient addictions treatment programs from 41 sites. Subjects w…
Sexual Abuse Correlates
A history of sexual abuse was examined for its relationship to signs ofpsychosocial dysfunction among an aggregated adolescent chemical dependency treatment sample. Chemical Abuse Treatment Outcome Registries (CATOR) collected and analyzed data on adolescents admitted to nine private treatment centers from 1984 to 1986; 210 self-reported female victims were compared with 234 nonvictims, 81 male victims with 890 nonvictims. Both male and female vi…
