Although evaluations have found prison treatment programs to be generally effective, most studies report that paroled graduates of these programs are much more likely to remain drug-free if they receive continuing treatment in the community. This article reviews research findings on principles of effective correctional treatment and the interventions that have been shown to be effective with drug-abusing parolees or that have been tested with general drug-abusing populations and show promise for use with parolees.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that challenges students to "learn to learn, " working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to problems (Duch, Groh, & Allen, 2001). These problems are used to engage students ' curiosity and initiate learning the subject matter. At its most fundamental level, PBL is characterized by the use of "real world " problems as a context for students to learn critical thinking and problem solving skills, and thereby acquire knowledge of the essential concepts of the course. Using PBL, students acquire life-long learning skills that include the ability to find and use appropriate learning resources.
