Twelve-month employment intervention outcomes for drug-involved offenders.

The efficacy of an innovative employment intervention tailored for drug-involved offenders is demonstrated by showing positive changes in 12-month employment outcomes, most strongly for those who have not had recent employment success.Abstract:Â

Criminal Justice Contact and Relapse Among Patients Seeking Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that posttreatment arrest increased the likelihood of substance use, but the evidence suggested that this relationship was not reciprocal, which has significant implications for criminal justice practices with regard to using alternatives to arrest as methods to minimize posttreatment substance use.
