RAPt (the Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust) is a British charity which helps people with drug and alcohol dependence move towards, achieve and maintain drug and crime-free lives. RAPt delivers services both in the criminal justice system and in community settings. Approximately 20,000 people every year use a RAPt service, although their families and communities also benefit - meaning that the positive impact of RAPt's work resonates far wider. Crucial to the RAPt ethos is that every single person is capable of transformational change, no matter how entrenched their addiction, or how prolific their offending behaviour may be. RAPt is the only provider of drug treatment programmes within HM Prison Service that has verifiable evidence of effectiveness. To read RAPt's most recent research reports please follow the link: (RAPt/ PNC Research ) ==History== RAPt was established in 1991 as the Addicted Diseases Trust when Peter Bond, a recovering alcoholic, observed the success of abstinence-based programmes in the United States. He, Jonathan Wallace and Michael Meakin, set up a charity to meet the needs of drug addicts in UK prisons. In 1992 RAPt opened the first intensive drug rehabilitation programme in a UK prison in a Portakabin at HMP Downview in Surrey. The actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, an early supporter, provided much-needed funds and remains a patron. Several of the people who lent their expertise and help when RAPt was first being founded over 23 years ago, remain involved today in various capacities - including as supporters and trustees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
