Perceived Need for Treatment among Drug Using Arrestees in Four Cities.

Sabin, Edward P.

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v26 n3-4 p47-58 1998

Explores the need for drug-abuse treatment among drug-using arrestees in four U.S. cities. Results show that 30% to 55% of drug-using arrestees perceived a need for treatment. Explains that the most important predictors for perceived need for treatment are previous experience with drug treatment, having previously injected a drug, and having no legitimate means of support.
