Handbook of Assessing and Treating Substance Abuse and Criminal Conduct:The Progress and Change Evaluation (PACE) Monitor is an instructive guide that helps agencies and providers assess, monitor and evaluate the change and progress made by criminal justice clients at the beginning, during and after treatment. The guide contains dozens of instruments used to assess and evaluate clients, along with a description of each item and instructions on how to score and interpret it. It was created to be used in conjunction with the Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment: Strategies for Self Improvement and Change curriculum, but the instruments are general enough that they can be used separately and with other curriculums as well. The tools provided in this book will be highly useful for anyone working with clients with co-occurring issues of substance abuse and criminal conduct.SAGE offers treatment and training programs for mental health providers that you can easily incorporate into your existing programs.

Driving with Care: Education and Treatment of the Underage Impaired Driving Offender is a supplementary guide for the Driving with Care Series. It deals specifically with Adolescent/young adult impaired driving, which presents a host of special challenges and special treatment issues. Underage impaired driving represents 15% of the DUI arrests nationwide, which translates into roughly 150,000 individuals a year. Underage drivers present a special challenge for education and treatment as their motivation to drink and drive is often quite different from the adult offender. Thus, the authors have compiled a rich set of educational protocols and treatment strategies that can supplement the various levels of treatment provided in all three Driving with Care workbooks. Section I provides a theoretical foundation for understanding underage impaired driving, including the scope, incidence, and prevalence of the problem and defines the causal and risk factors associated with underage drinking and driving. It also defines and covers legal and regulatory interventions that have been effective for treatment and provides guidelines that enhance the treatment and rehabilitation of this group. Section II provides specific guidelines and enhancements for the delivery of DWC for underage drivers, including activities, handouts, and various assessment tools.

Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment: Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change (SSC), The Participant’s Workbook, is a 50-session, comprehensive guide, designed to help individuals overcome substance abuse, criminal behavior, and antisocial tendencies. It is structured into three phases: Challenge to Change, Commitment to Change, and Ownership of Change, each focusing on specific skills and strategies for personal growth and responsible living.The Workbook is intended for use by justice involved clients with co-occurring substance use issues and criminal conduct, guided by counselors skilled in Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral treatment techniques. The curriculum is designed to be delivered in structured treatment settings including jails, prisons, parole, outpatient and residential community settings. It can be delivered in group or individual treatment modalities.

Phase I: Challenge to Change

This phase introduces participants to the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) Map, which helps identify how thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs influence emotions and actions. Participants learn to recognize high-risk situations and thinking patterns that lead to substance abuse and criminal conduct. Key skills include mental self-control, relaxation techniques, and managing urges and cravings. Modules focus on understanding personal history, identifying problem areas, and setting relapse and recidivism prevention goals. Participants develop a Master Profile (MP) and Master Assessment Plan (MAP) to guide their journey, using worksheets and exercises to reflect on past behaviors, identify triggers, and set goals for change. 

Phase II: Commitment to Change

This phase emphasizes skill development for responsible living, including problem-solving, assertiveness, and managing anger in relationships. Participants learn to give and receive compliments, resolve conflicts, and build healthy intimate relationships. Modules address moral reasoning, empathy, and prosocial behavior, encouraging respect for others and positive community contributions. Cognitive-behavioral strategies, such as the STEP Method (Situation, Thinking Change, Emotions, Positive Action/Outcome), help participants achieve positive outcomes by changing their thoughts and beliefs. Communication skills, such as active sharing and listening, are emphasized to improve relationships and prevent relapse and recidivism. 

Phase III: Ownership of Change

The final phase focuses on taking full ownership of the changes made in earlier phases. Participants strengthen relapse and recidivism prevention plans, develop critical reasoning skills, and create a balanced lifestyle. Modules include managing work and time, engaging in healthy leisure activities, relaxation techniques, healthy eating, and physical activity. Participants are encouraged to give back to their community through mentoring and role modeling, reinforcing their commitment to responsible living. The goal is to sustain a drug-free and crime-free life while contributing positively to the community.

Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment - The Provider's Guide: Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change; Pathways to Responsible Living, Third Edition is a groundbreaking manual that merges therapeutic and correctional approaches to create an effective intervention for judicial clients. It goes beyond traditional therapeutic paradigms, advocating for a sociocentric approach that emphasizes responsibility towards others and the community.

 

This Provider's Guide introduces a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate treatment program, Pathways for Self-Discovery and Change (PSDC), which provides the specific tools necessary for improving evaluation and treatment of at-risk youth, a particularly vulnerable patient population in the justice system. Using an adolescent-focused format, this protocol identifies psychological, biological, and social factors that contribute to the onset of adolescent deviance, and establishes guidelines for delivery of a 32-session treatment curriculum designed to rehabilitate both male and female adolescents with co-occurring substance abuse and criminal conduct.

 

Now in its Second Edition, this guide provides treatment practitioners, program evaluators, and youth services administrators with the most up to date, comprehensive, and accessible information for the treatment and rehabilitation of juvenile justice clients. It is built on theoretical and research advances in the treatment and rehabilitation of juvenile justice clients, as well as feedback over the past seven years from PSDC counselees, treatment providers, and program administrators.
