TCs are an intense form of treatment where participants live together in a drug-free environment and the community itself is the key agent of change. The communities are hierarchical with treatment stages that reflect increasing levels of personal and social responsibility. While there is good international evidence that addiction TCs are effective in facilitating positive change in drug using offenders, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness in the UK. Concerns have also been raised over the difficulties of maintaining treatment integrity in such regimes. It is therefore important to establish whether communities are functioning as intended and adhering to their model of change. Details: London: Ministry of Justice, 2012. 57p.
