The development of good practice and treatment in the rehabilitation of alcoholic and drug-addicted inmates in Her Majesty's prisons.
This paper describes the philosophy and development of the Substance Abuse Treatment Programme (SATP), which is now operated by the Rehabilitation of Addicted Prisoners Trust (RAPt) (formerly the Addicted Diseases Trust, ADT) in Her Majesty's Prisons Downview, Coldingley, Pentonville, Wandsworth, and Norwich. The SATP treats inmates whose chronic alcohol, drug, and gambling addictions have been a major contributor to their offending history. Reference to 'addicts' in this paper will be deemed to include all of these groups. Inmates participating in the programme are referred to as Members. The essential elements of the programme are briefly described, as is its outcome.
