DescriptionMatching offenders to appropriate treatment interventions is important for the provision of an effective continuum of care. Although prior research has conceptualized substance abusing offenders as a heterogeneous population, little research has attempted to utilize typological assessments to determine whether certain "types" of substance-abusing offenders are better suited for a particular style of intervention. The current study used a sample population of offenders released from New Jersey prisons to halfway house interventions. Based on assessments administered prior to halfway house admission, a set of intervention groups were established using Latent Class Analysis (LCA), which identified several classes or "types" of substance abusing offenders. The resulting classification was then utilized to identify specific responsivity among four program orientations: Therapeutic Community, 12-Step, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Rehabilitation programs. A proposed matching strategy was identified for class-program interactions based on Cox regression model findings. Policy implications describe extensions of the study methodology and resource allocations for substance-abusing offender populations in need of community interventions.
