Federal Bureau of
Prison (BOP) estimates that 40% of federal inmates have a diagnosable substance
abuse problem. This statistic is worth considering, in that it points to
the need for effective treatment for incarcerated persons struggling with
alcohol and drugs. Now, one may offer up the argument that once in
prisons, offenders don’t have access to these substances. However, it is
worth noting that sobriety entails more than restricting access to addictive
substances.
While a restrictive environment may keep
alcohol and other drugs out of the hands of offenders, without long-term
treatment and support offenders are highly likely to return to use upon their
release. This is because they lack the tools for solid, long-term
recovery. And so, without treatment and a solid support system in place,
they are left to figure out things on their own, including how to properly
manage anxiety, fear, stress, sadness, depression and other uncomfortable or
painful emotions which, in the past, were temporarily drowned in one’s
addiction.
