Question:
I was just wondering whether there are statistics that show facts on whether persons who had spent their time in jail and gotten addiction treatment were really better off when they got out of jail than those who did not undergo addiction treatment.
Answers:
Yes, there are indeed statistics that prove that persons who had undergone treatment for their addiction were better off than those who didn't. The Federal Bureau of Prisons had conducted a survey of the outcomes of drug treatment programs among inmates who were already released and have completed the program. It was found that only 3.3% were likely to be rearrested during the first 6 months after they were released from jail as opposed to the 12.1% of inmates who didn't get to receive treatment.
