Treatment Outcome Model

This paper will illustrate the treatment outcome models of recidivism, relapse, and harm-reduction. Secondly, it will provide information on the similarities and differences of these three treatment outcome models, which will help define treatment success and failure in forensic setting for 28-year-old Sandra Lee. Thirdly, in this paper, challenges and advantages of these treatment outcomes will be explained. Fourthly, it focus on the article, “Guilt and shame as predictors of recidivism: A longitudinal study with young prisoners”, “A Study of Methadone Maintenance for Male Prisoners”, and “Adult Sex Offenders on Community Supervision”. Lastly, this paper will give an insight that this author gained concerning the comparison of these three treatment outcomes.
Treatment Outcome Models
The three treatment outcomes that will be discussed are recidivism, relapse, and harm-reductions. These treatment outcomes explain individual behavioral outcome after incarceration, half-way house, or hospital. The recidivism model
Another challenge of recidivism to take into consideration is error for the model, because information provide may be affected by the offender having more than one criminal record. An advantage of this model would be that it keeps measures of supporting recidivism can lead to curative justice that views the future of the offenders records. One of the challenges that relapse face is getting urine samples from offenders. Another issues that may occur in this model would include those with mental health issues that are more likely to relapse because of withdraw form medications. An advantage of relapse model would be that it offer short-term impatient and outpatient services for offenders. Harm-reduction challenge focus on insignificant long-term outcomes. Robert (2008) explains the advantage of this model is that it provides public health
