Abstract

Background The prevalence of problematic drinkers and drug users in correctional services of England and Wales is high, with implications not only for the health of prisoners, but also for substance-related crime.

There is clearly a strong need in correctional services for treatment for both drug and alcohol use. What works in substance misuse treatments for offenders?
