Title	Women with Dual Diagnosis: Differences between Those Receiving Treatment-only and Those Receiving Treatment and Supervision Combined
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2005
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Determining what exactly "works" as far as rehabilitating offenders, particularly women with dual diagnosis (i.e., mental health and substance abuse), can be a difficult task. Recent research has turned its focus to looking at the effects of both treatment and supervision. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment-only services or treatment and supervision services combined were more effective in reducing re-arrests. The study examined participants' opinions of their treatment and/or supervision as well as evaluated recidivism data to determine which form of rehabilitation was more effective. I expected to find that when treatment programs were combined with supervision services for an offender, particularly dual diagnosis offenders, there would be positive reactions and lower recidivism. This study had a sample of 12 women who voluntarily participated in an interview. Both treatment-only and treatment and supervision combined were found to be successful in regard to re-arrests. The recidivism data (3 month follow-up) had encouraging results. All of the women interviewed were in some way accomplishing goals that they had either set previously or they were moving on to new goals. Almost all of the women had completed their treatment and/or supervision services and none of the women became re-arrested in this time. The findings are encouraging regarding the potential of treatment services for dual diagnosis female offenders.
