Preferred term

rehabilitation/treatment programs  

Definition

  • Since the first decade of the 20th century, public policy in the United States focusing on aberrant use of illegal psychoactive substances has moved back and forth from emphases on punitive and therapeutic interventions. Systems based on therapy and treatment grew enormously during the 20th century, but there were simultaneous increases in numbers of drug offenders being imprisoned and in average length of sentences.
