With the rise of coerced treatment in both correctional and community settings, increased awareness and focus is being placed on motivation for change and treatment readiness as dynamic factors relevant to individual treatment planning. In addition, within correctional-treatment populations, the need for targeting criminal thinking and attitudes as primary treatment issues also has been well-established. The importance of these two issues to the effectiveness of treatment programming highlights the need for instruments that can reliably assess offender risk and needs, guide the treatment planning process, and monitor progress over time. This article provides an overview of how selected scales from the Texas Christian University Criminal Justice Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment and Criminal Thinking Scales instruments are being used to inform treatment planning and service delivery in a large, intensive therapeutic community program for substance-abusing offenders in Virginia.
