Article Synopsis
- Methamphetamine (MAP) abuse has been a long-standing issue in Japan, leading to many offenders being incarcerated under the Stimulant Control Law.
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a relapse prevention program for drug-dependent inmates at Harima Rehabilitation Program Center, utilizing a self-teaching workbook and group therapy.
- Results indicated that while initial assessments showed no significant changes, participants exhibited improved scores in self-efficacy and readiness for change after completing both the self-teaching and group therapy components, aligning with the "Stage of Changes" model.
