In an attempt to assess the effectiveness of a community-based sex offender treatment program, questionnaires were sent to 153 former male patients. It was expected that only the 110 patients who had completed or almost completed treatment would return questionnaires. A total of 61 patients returned the form. Program components utilized during treatment were analyzed and data on current offending urges were obtained. The patterns and characteristics patients had before and after treatment were analyzed for behavioral changes as well as recidivism. Recidivism data were self-report as well as computer checked in cooperation with the state law enforcement agency. Retrospective review shows clinical improvement by most patients in all areas of treatment. Recidivism rate for the entire population (n=153) was 3.7%. This preliminary study indicates that a significant number of treatment modalities are effective for outpatient sex offenders.
