Motivational readiness for engaging in drug treatment is a common problem for probationers mandated to criminal justice programs, particularly for those with limited educational experience. This study presents initial findings on the impact of a new four-session treatment readiness programthat includes an array of cognitive engagement strategies. Probationers in a 4-month mandated residential program were randomly assigned to receive a standard (n = 244) or enhanced treatment readiness program (n = 249). The enhanced program was given favorable overall ratings, and the low education group in this condition rated their midterm improvements in motivation and confidence as being higher than did the group receiving the standard program.
