Under the Influence: Alcohol, Drugs, Crime, and Treatment in New Hampshire
This paper documents the extent of alcohol and drug problems among the offender population in New Hampshire and catalogues the treatment options available to those offenders. The analysis shows that approximately 12,700 people in custody or recently released from a state prison or county jail have committed an alcohol- or drug-related crime or have a history of alcohol or drug abuse. The state has the capacity to treat only about 4,700 of those offenders each year. The report concludes that expanding treatment options and reducing prison terms could save the state money while also increasing public safety.
