Abstract

ABSTRACT We compared emerging adults with older adults who were admitted to the Drug Treatment Court (DTC) in a large Midwestern county. Emerging adults were more likely to be lower risk and to be opioid/heroin users. Compared to older adults, emerging adults were more likely to have increased violations in the DTC program. Emerging adults compared to older adults were more likely to be terminated than to graduate with no recidivism (odds ratio 1.83), and more likely to recidivate after they graduated (odds ratio 2.16). Elevated risks for program termination and recidivism for emerging adults, despite a reduced risk profile at entry, underscore the need for program modifications (such as peer support) that specifically target this age group.

戒毒法庭上的新兴成年人：程序行为、程序完成和累犯

摘要:我们比较了中西部一个大县进入药物治疗法院(DTC)的新生成人和老年人。新兴成年人更有可能是低风险和阿片类药物/海洛因使用者。与老年人相比，刚成年的人在DTC项目中的违规行为更有可能增加。与老年人相比，刚毕业的成年人比毕业时没有再犯的人更有可能被终止(比值比1.83)，并且更有可能在毕业后再犯(比值比2.16)。尽管初出苗头的成年人在进入时风险降低，但项目终止和再犯的风险增加，强调了专门针对这一年龄组的项目修改(如同伴支持)的必要性。
