The second edition of Making Mandated Addiction Treatment Work integrates cutting edge research with evidence-based addiction treatments to create a unified and effective treatment model for mental health professionals and those in training. Because the largest and fastest growing segment of the community-based addiction treatment population includes those who are mandated, Barbara C. Wallace provides insightful best practices for tailoring addiction treatment to diverse and challenging clients, including those who may have a history of trauma or mental disorders, different levels of motivation, and a high risk of relapse.

Applicable in a variety of treatment settings in both urban and rural communities, this text weaves together new research and vivid case studies into a concise and practical resource. This book is ideal for practitioners and students of public health, criminal justice, and social welfare services.

About the Author

In Making Mandated Addiction Treatment Work, Wallace (health education, Teachers' College, Columbia Univ.) provides a review of the multi-modalities utilized to treat individuals in the criminal justice system diagnosed with substance abuse disorders. Repackaging and applying a combination of the unified frameworks for addiction developed by R. H. Moos (2003) and Redish et. al (2008), Wallace spotlights the impact of institutionalized racism and poverty on the treatment of incarcerated persons with substance abuse disorders. The text provides information relevant to the prevalence of comorbid mental illness in the correctional system and identifies the success of drug court and other drug programs provided to inmates. The topics covered are extensive. . . the text offers an approach to the topic for undergraduate criminal justice students.

Summing Up: Recommended.
