This is a report on policy implications emanating from an ongoing drug abuse treatment evaluation project concerned with the adjustment of drug-abusing offenders assigned to different treatment/monitoring conditions during their first year on parole. These policy implications were largely derived from project experiences that highlighted administrative and service delivery linkages among corrections, parole, and treatment systems and demonstrated the importance of establishing cooperative agreements and close working relationships. The impact of characteristics of drug-abusing offenders on policy considerations is also discussed, along with preliminary outcome findings of the evaluation project.
