在过去的十年里，毒品政策研究人员已经达成了一个明确的共识，即监禁毒品犯罪者的做法适得其反。因此，美国的刑事司法政策越来越强调对与毒品有关的逮捕采取监禁的替代处置。此外，目前因与毒品有关的罪行而被监禁的大量人员正在被释放到社区。然而，对于这些人获释后将住在哪里以及他们将如何获得所需的服务，存在严重的问题。社区康复之家是那些希望戒除毒品的人的良好选择。他们提供了一个没有毒品和酒精的生活环境，沿着社会支持禁欲和在社区中成功运作。本文回顾了美国最近的毒品政策变化，并介绍了各种恢复家园的选择，可供转移或释放的人从监禁。(C)2017爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Over the past decade there has been a clear consensus among drug policy researchers that the practice of incarcerating persons for drug offenses has been counterproductive. As a result, U.S. criminal justice policy is increasingly emphasizing alternative dispositions to incarceration for drug related arrests. In addition, large numbers of persons currently incarcerated for drug related offenses are being released into communities. However, there are serious questions about where these individuals are going to live once released and how they will access needed services. Residential recovery homes in the community are good options for those who wish to pursue abstinence from drugs. They provide a drug- and alcohol free living environment along with social support for abstinence and successful functioning in the community. This paper reviews recent changes in drug policy the U.S. and describes the variety of recovery home options that are available to persons diverted or released from incarceration.
