Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine differences in the effectiveness of different treatment plans on the amphetamine use relapse risk of reoffending prisoners. This was evaluated using a cognitive behavioral group therapy (CBGT) program, self-help meeting (SHM) program, and waiting list (WL) control. Nineteen participants received the CBGT program. Ten participants received the SHM program. The WL group consisted of prisoners waiting for treatment (n=23).The Correctional Stimulant Relapse Risk Scale (Yamamoto et al., 2011) was completed twice (pre and post) by the participants during the treatment program or at three months. The results revealed that “lack of negative expectancy for drug use” improved significantly more in the CBGT group than in the other groups. Particularly, in CBGT group lower age individuals and lower reoffending individuals showed highly improved “lack of negative expectancy for drug use.” On the other hand, in SHM group, lower IQ showed highly improved “lack of negative expectancy for drug use.” Thus, it is important that reoffending prisoners with substance abuse were classified according to assessments of age, reoffending history, and IQ as either CBGT or SHM program.</p>
