The transition from jail to community is a high-risk time for individuals experiencing substance use disorders (SUD), with elevated risks of overdose and other substance-related harms, as well as high recidivism rates and re-incarceration. Gains made from successful treatment in prison are often lost in this transition. The current paper evaluates this process for one justice programme, Chesterfield HARP, a Therapeutic Community based in the Chesterfield County jail that continues supporting former inmates through their release by examining engagement and retention rates and changes in recovery capital among incarcerated individuals before incarceration and after transition to recovery housing in the community. Adult prisoners (both male and female) who engaged in the Chesterfield HARP programme completed an assessment of recovery capital (REC-CAP instrument) while in prison and following their transitions to one of a number of local recovery residences with strong links to the prison programme (ensuring continuity of care and support). The results suggest successful bridging with positive growth across multiple recovery capital domains. The study provides further evidence for the importance of continuity of care and integrated models of strength-building and recovery-focused interventions in successfully bridging the transition from prison to the community for offenders with a SUD history.
从监狱过渡到社区，对于患有物质使用障碍（SUD）的个人来说是一个高风险时期，存在过量用药及其他与物质相关伤害的风险增加，以及高累犯率和再次入狱率。在监狱中成功治疗所取得的成果往往在这个过渡阶段丧失。本文评估了切斯特菲尔德强化康复计划（Chesterfield HARP）这一司法项目的这一过程，该项目是位于切斯特菲尔德县监狱的一个治疗社区，通过检查参与率和留存率以及被监禁者在入狱前和过渡到社区康复住房后康复资本的变化，继续在他们获释后提供支持。参与切斯特菲尔德强化康复计划的成年囚犯（包括男性和女性）在狱中以及过渡到与监狱项目有紧密联系的多个当地康复住所之一后（确保护理和支持的连续性），完成了一项康复资本评估（REC-CAP工具）。结果表明在多个康复资本领域实现了成功衔接和积极增长。该研究为护理连续性以及以力量建设和康复为重点的综合干预模式在成功衔接有物质使用障碍病史的罪犯从监狱到社区的过渡中的重要性提供了进一步证据。
