This is merely a guess on my part, but I'd imagine if the non-prison based version doesn't have a means of enforcing strict compliance (you don't get to leave / opt-out just because you want to), then it would perform worse on that basis alone.
Deviaant said "You can't force confinement of a person, and that's what intensive treatment would look like" but I would posit that a prison based treatment program is more or less exactly that. And that's probably why it's so successful.
