The first, the Crossroad to Freedom House\r\nTherapeutic Community at the Arrowhead Correctional Center (ACC TC)\r\nwas a prison-based program. The second was the community-based Peer I\r\nTherapeutic Community (Peer I). Two methodologies were used to gather\r\ndata. Part 1, RSAT Outcome Data, contains quantitative data collected\r\nfrom five separate study groups of differing sample sizes that\r\nreceived differing levels of treatment, with a total of 778 cases. The\r\ngroups were compared on five separate outcome variables: technical\r\nviolation, new misdemeanor arrest, new felony arrest, return to\r\nprison, and overall supervision failure. To gather baseline\r\ninformation from participants, a researcher administered the intake\r\npacket in group format to participants within three weeks of admission\r\nto ACC TC. After completing the treatment programs, outcome data were\r\ncollected for a two-year follow-up period for each participant. Part\r\n2, Case Studies, consists of case studies of ten participants, two\r\nfrom each of the above five listed groups. One from each group had\r\nsuccessful outcomes, and one did not. Successful outcomes were defined\r\nas participants who were still living in the community after 12 to 18\r\nmonths without any new charges. Unsuccessful outcomes were defined as\r\nthose participants who were returned to prison for technical\r\nviolations or new charges and were eligible for study only if they had\r\nbeen living in the community for six to twelve months before returning\r\nto prison. Information for the case studies were gathered through\r\ninterviews with both former prisoners and one of their significant\r\nothers. Variables for Part 1 include demographic information, length\r\nof stay in both the ACC TC and Peer I, types of programs parolees were\r\nreleased to, and time period between leaving the Department of\r\nCorrections and any subsequent returns. Information was also gathered\r\non the presence of psychological concerns as an adult, as well as in\r\nchildhood. Part 2 consists of information regarding ACC TC and Peer I\r\nparticipants' post-treatment such as their employment status,\r\nfinancial well-being, significant relationships, relapse information\r\nand whether or not the interviewee has returned to the Department of\r\nCorrections since receiving treatment and being released.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR04212.v1", "title": "Outcome Evaluation of the Crossroad to Freedom House and Peer I Therapeutic Communities in Colorado, 2000-2002   "}], "identifier": "3137", "issued": "2005-10-11T00:00:00", "keyword": ["alcohol abuse", "drug abuse", "inmate programs", "recidivism", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment outcome", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-10-11T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Outcome Evaluation of the Crossroad to Freedom House and Peer I Therapeutic Communities in Colorado, 2000-2002   "}
