| Abstract: | This study evaluated the impact of two short-term, Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust (RAPt), substance dependence treatment programs on the psychological processes they target, which are associated with relapse and/or reoffending. Posttreatment scores across subscales of three psychometric measures were compared to baseline scores for 2,299 alcohol and/or drug dependent adult male prisoners that engaged with the Alcohol Dependence Treatment Programme (ADTP) or the Bridge Programme in custody. Subsequent OLS regression analyses indicated that, while key variables such as age, ethnicity, offense type, main substance used, and completion status were held constant, participants of the programs made significant gains regarding motivation to change problematic substance abusing behavior, self-efficacy for abstaining from drugs and/or alcohol in high-risk situations, and social problem-solving skills.
