Download or read book Co Occurring Disorders and Prisoner Reentry written by Danielle Marie Carkin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tackles the important issue of the effects of co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders on criminal offenders as they make the transition from incarceration back into society. It provides estimates of the prevalence of these disorders among criminal justice populations, and examines the various screening and assessment instruments used to diagnose co-occurring disorders. The volume further offers an inside look at an experimental community reentry program at a jail facility and uncovers how co-occurring disorders jeopardize the transition back into the community for offenders who suffer from them. It incorporates a historical account of the reentry issue to show how the current reentry problem is rooted in criminal justice policies dating back to the 1980s. As such, the text will be a valuable resource for criminal justice and criminology students, as well as practitioners in the corrections field, particularly those who work with inmates or released individuals with substance abuse and mental health disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The topic of incarcerated populations occupies a large presence within the standing literature. Within this work, scholarship has documented that convicted offenders often suffer from mental health and substance abuse disorders. Despite increasing numbers in the American prison system suffering from mental health and substance abuse disorders, little research has examined the impact of co-occurring disorders on inmates' behaviors. Further, few studies have examined whether the presence of co-occurring disorders increase the risk and severity of institutional misconduct and discipline. Using the 2004 Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities (SISCF), this study examines the differential impact of disorders on inmate's misconduct and discipline.

Download or read book Patterns of Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Symptoms Among Incarcerated People Engaged in a Novel Treatment Program written by Ashley E Dobbins and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has one of the highest incarceration rates worldwide, with mostincarcerated people experiencing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health symptoms. Treatment for co-occurring disorders in incarcerated populations reduces reincarceration rates and substance use and increases support for successful community reintegration. However, many people in correctional settings experience significant barriers to receiving evidence-based treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental illness. Few studies have examined the rates of co-occurrence in incarcerated samples, information that can inform treatment efforts. Federal detainees are a group of people incarcerated who are completely underrepresented in the literature and face even more barriers than state and local inmates when attempting to access treatment. The current defense reviews the literature on the co-occurrence of substance use disorders and mental health symptoms in incarcerated individuals and the treatments empirically studied in this population. A novel treatment developed for the co-occurrence of substance use disorders and mental health symptoms for federally detained people is described. Additionally, a series of statistical analyses were performed to examine the patterns of co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health symptoms in a sample of 192 federally detained people (men and women) to inform treatment. Findings indicated that federally detained people are a unique population, different than other incarcerated populations. Federally detained people reported using opioids, cannabis, and cocaine more than other drugs. They reported low rates of mental health symptoms, with the exception of those with a severe cannabis use disorder. Based on the findings identified in this study, federally detained people with a severe cannabis use disorder would most benefit from co-occurring substance use and mental health treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an overview for students in Criminology and Criminal Justice about the overlap between the criminal justice system and mental health. It provides an accessible overview of basic signs and symptoms of major mental illnesses and size of scope of justice-involved individuals with mental illness. In the United States, the criminal justice system is often the first public service to be in contact with individuals suffering from mental illness or in mental distress. Those with untreated mental illnesses are often at higher risk for committing criminal acts, yet research on this population continues to shed light on common myths – such a prevailing assumption that those with mental illness tend to commit more violent crimes. Law enforcement agents may be called in as first responders for cases of mental distress; and due to a lack of mental health facilities, resources, and pervasive misconceptions about this population, those with mental illness often end up in the corrections system. In this environment, students in Criminology and Criminal Justice are likely to encounter those with mental illness in their future career paths, and need to be prepared for this reality. This timely work covers the roles of each part of the criminal justice system interacting with mentally ill individuals, from law enforcement and first responders, social services, public health services, sentencing and corrections, to release and re-entry. It also covers the crucial topic of mental health for criminal justice professionals, who suffer from high rates of job stress, PTSD, and other mental health issues. The final section of the book includes suggestions for future research. This work will be of interest to students of criminology and criminal justice with an interest in working in the professional sector, as well as those in related fields of sociology, psychology, and public health. It will also be of interest to policy-makers and practitioners already working in the field. The overall goal of this work is to inform, educate, and inspire change.

Download or read book A Systematic Review of Evidence based Treatment for Dually Diagnosed Inmates written by Karenia Li and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews evidence-based treatment for offenders with co-occurring disorders in correctional settings. Effective correctional-based programs combine mental health and substance abuse interventions that are tailored to the complex needs of offenders with comorbid disorders during incarceration and while transitioning into the community. Findings revealed critical components of effective programs, which include an integrated approach to treatment (IDDT), the use of modified therapeutic communities (MTC), and assertive community treatment (ACT). Overall, the research showed that providing mental health and substance abuse treatment concurrently is the most effective approach to treat offenders with a dual diagnosis. The literature has shown empirical support for the use of specialized screening and assessment for CODs, pharmacological interventions, cognitive-behavioral strategies, staged interventions in order to address levels of impairments and functioning, motivational interventions, and various housing and employment services. Several recommendations were provided to reduce recidivism among offenders with co-occurring disorders which include individualization of integrated treatment that correspond with an inmate's stages of change, mandatory dual diagnosis training for correctional staff, and transitional support and continuity of care upon release with the utilization of peer mentors to support the re-entry process.
Download or read book Psychiatric Services in Jails and Prisons written by American Psychiatric Association and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited report of the APA's Work Group to Revise the APA Guidelines on Psychiatric Services in Correctional Facilities, Psychiatric Services in Correctional Facilities comes at a time of growing incarceration rates, more rigid sentencing policies, harsher sanctions, and tougher public attitudes toward crime. The result is a near-doubling of the incarcerated population since the first report was issued in 1989 and a significant increase of inmates with serious mental health issues. The work group members address the implications of this troubling state of affairs for psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners who diagnose and treat within the correctional environment. On the basis of extensive input from multiple sources and perspectives, they have developed clear guidelines that equip clinicians to navigate the special challenges they face. This edition has been thoroughly updated and is structured to flow from the foundational principles that govern the delivery of psychiatric care in correctional facilities, to the guidelines for screening, referral, evaluation, treatment, and community reentry planning, to special applications of the principles and guidelines to specific disorders/ syndromes, patient populations, housing locations, treatment modalities, and inmate special needs. Readers will find the book well written, with clear guidance for the clinician, as well as challenges to think beyond the needs of individual patients to the larger relationship between mental illness and incarceration. Approximately three of every four incarcerated people with a serious mental illness have a co-occurring substance use disorder, complicating both diagnosis and treatment. The book offers strategies for treating co-occurring disorders and explores the need for evidence-based screening tools. Because some inmate populations have unique evaluation and treatment needs because of their disorders, demographics, or other characteristics, separate sections are devoted to women; youths in adult correctional facilities; geriatrics; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender patients; veterans; and patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities. New management and programmatic topics include hospice, mental illness and segregation, seclusion and restraint, telepsychiatry, and the spiritual lives of inmates. The appendix is a valuable resource that includes a selection of APA position statements on topics relevant to psychiatric services in correctional settings, such as capital punishment, access to care for transgender and gender-variant individuals, and the adjudication of youths as adults in the criminal justice system. Correctional psychiatry is an evolving field, and serious questions remain. The work group sees an expanded role for clinicians as physician leaders, managers, and directors, more effectively advocating for their patients and helping to shape optimal care delivery systems that empower patients and support successful transition back to the community. Psychiatric Services in Correctional Facilities provides the current knowledge and professional support clinicians need to meet these challenges.
