The therapeutic community is a group program designed to divert drug users from the criminal justice system. It is a long-term, residential program that focuses on drug treatment and behavior modification. Anger management programs, self-help programs, and service projects may also be helpful in adjusting to prison life and rehabilitating inmates, but they are not specifically designed to address drug addiction and prevent recidivism.
