Abstract:
The authors examine the need to improve client motivation for participation in drug treatment programs, using prison-based therapeutic communities to describe strategies to address client motivation, including a structured approach to sanctions and rewards. They also cover the importance of compliance-gaining strategies as a motivational enhancement and the difference between correctional and therapeutic responses.
