Assignment 2: Proposal for a Treatment Plan at a Correctional Facility
The local correctional facility is planning to implement a new treatment program for substance abuse treatment. You are hired to create a proposal providing a recommendation for the types of treatment modalities to be utilized in the facility. Use your textbook, module notes, and at least two peer reviewed articles from the online library and/or publications from a government website on substance abuse treatment to develop the proposal. Your paper should address the following:
- A discussion of the variety of substance addictions needing to be addressed in the treatment program in a correctional system, and your analysis for whether you would propose separating the inmates in treatment based upon the type of substance they use.
- A thorough comparison of individual treatment and group treatment, and your analysis for whether you would recommend individual treatment or group treatment, or both.
- A description of the12 step program, and your analysis for whether you would propose this be a part of the treatment program.
- A discussion of the role of the family and incorporating the family within the treatment process, and your analysis of whether you would recommend family therapy to be a part of the treatment program.
