“Nothing works.”

Nothing could be further from the truth. Every day, treatment programs around the country are proving that offender rehabilitation does work.  Hundreds of treatment and educational programs are achieving impressive results with substance abusers, violent offenders, juveniles and, sex offenders. As more offenders are released back into the community, we need programs that work more than ever.

For twenty-one years, from 1997 to 2017, Offender Progams Report profiled offender programs that work—helping program administrators and treatment professionals document and build support for their successes, through program evaluation, networking and family assistance programs, and community and legislative outreach.  The report's best work since 1999 is now preserved in this online archive, accessible either on a pay-per-article basis or through an annual subscription.

Drawing on leading authorities in counseling, corrections, mental health, addiction treatment, and the law, Offender Programs Report brings together innovative ideas and therapies for offender rehabilitation and treatment in both community and institutional settings. OPR profiles successful programs for substance abusers, sex offenders, mentally ill and developmentally disabled offenders, as well as a variety of other special offender populations—and offers practical assistance in implementing new programs and strengthening existing ones. Written by professionals for professionals, OPR is an essential resource for therapists and counselors, administrators and attorneys, probation and corrections professionals, researchers and educators.

Articles are available on a pay-per-download basis or an annual subscription. An annual subscription includes access to Offender Programs Report online and Offender Substance Abuse Report online archive, eight years of best-practices in substance use treatment programming.
