Title: The Effectiveness of Short-term Drug Treatment for Jail Inmates: An Evaluation of the OUT Program Summary: In this study we compared 70 jail inmates who took the OUT program, a cognitive-based drug treatment program, with a matched group of 70 inmates who did not take the program. We used three different measures of recidivism, (1) any re-arrest, (2) a re-arrest that resulted in more than 30 days in jail, and (3) returning to prison or jail for more than 30 days. Fifteen percent fewer of the treatment than control group were sent back to prison or jail for more than 30 days. Using survival analysis to control for exposure time and other variables, the treatment group was almost half as likely to recidivate as the control group. We conclude that the success of the OUT program may be due to its focus, cognitive-behavioral principles, and effective implementation. The Cognitive Transformation Theory is a useful framework for understanding the OUT program and identifying principles that could be used in similar treatment programs.
