Substance abuse counseling treatment in community corrections ultimately aims to assist offenders in learning constructive coping skills and restoring social and occupational functioning. A review is discussed of various treatment methods that have survived the tests of empirical scrutiny, clinical experience, and practical financial considerations. In addition, these methods are offered for consideration by community corrections professionals in developing a basic design for outpatient substance abuse treatment programs.
