About the Course

This course is based on three NIDA Notes articles. NIDA Notes is a large collection of brief, relevant articles focusing on current drug abuse treatment evidence.

Research Addresses Needs of Criminal Justice Staff and Offenders
explains how the Criminal Justice-Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS) investigators have collaborated with the criminal justice partners to fashion and test science-based, practical tools for integrating drug abuse treatment in the Nation’s prisons and probation and parole programs.

High-Risk Drug Offenders Do Better With Close Judicial Supervision
recalls how low-risk offenders do equally well with and without regularly scheduled court appearances.

New Therapy Reduces Drug Abuse Among Patients With Severe Mental Illness
describes how a specially designed group intervention also improves patients’ functioning in the community.

All three articles are contained in one PDF.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Drug Abuse Treatment Evidence: Collection VI (NIDA Notes): Article 1: Research Addresses Needs of Criminal Justice Staff and Offenders Article 2: High-Risk Drug Offenders Do Better With Close Judicial Supervision and Article 3: New Therapy Reduces Drug Abuse Among Patients With Severe Mental Illness created by Lori Whitten et al
