Description
Trauma-Informed Drug Abuse Program
Substance misuse and criminality are deeply interconnected, with incarcerated individuals often experiencing high rates of substance misuse. To address this issue, the Bureau of Prisons offers programs such as the Non-Residential Drug Abuse Program (NRDAP) and the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). While these programs, grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) models, effectively address behaviors and cognitive patterns contributing to substance misuse, they often overlook the significant role of trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in driving these behaviors.
This presentation explores the critical relationship between trauma histories and substance misuse, emphasizing the importance of integrating trauma-informed practices into existing substance misuse treatment programs for incarcerated individuals. It highlights how trauma-informed approaches can enhance program efficacy by addressing underlying trauma that traditional CBT models may neglect. Additionally, the presentation will discuss the benefits of adopting a trauma-informed framework in correctional settings, such as improved treatment outcomes and reduced recidivism, while also addressing the challenges associated with implementing these changes. Attendees will gain insights into the transformative potential of trauma-informed practices and their capacity to improve the effectiveness of substance misuse interventions in correctional environments.
