ANNOTATION: Findings are presented from the first empirical study of the Women's Integrated Treatment (WIT) program curriculum. WIT is not a "standard" prison therapeutic community (TC) treatment program for substance abuse, but a relational-based treatment program which "emphasize[s] the important role of relationships and intimate partners in women's addiction and recovery" (p. 1). Sections after an executive summary are: background; study design; outcome findings for 6- and 12-month follow-up -- attrition at 12 months, analyses, and results for main hypotheses; and pilot study conclusions and recommendations. WIT participants have a lower recidivism rate than women in the TC program -- 31% versus 45%.
