Substance Abuse Treatment

The Department’s addiction services provide a graduated system of substance abuse treatment programs. The agency’s Objective Classification System indicates that 88% of the inmates who come into the system have a substance abuse history that suggests a significant need for some level of substance abuse treatment. Based on the offender’s individual need, which is determined through a formal assessment, they may receive treatment in; Tier 1, a nine session Pre-Release Substance Treatment Program focusing on re-entry and reintegration issues for offenders returnig to the community; Tier 2, a four times a week, intensive out patient program with a curriculum that helps develop an understanding of addiction; Tier 3, a four month residential substance abuse treatment program designed to provide recovery and relapse prevention skills with a focus on re-entry or: Tier 4, which is a residential six month program in a modified therapeutic community setting. Tiers 2,3 and 4 offer an Aftercare Program designed to provide a continuum of care and maintenance of recovery. A Community Addiction Services Program provides substance abuse treatment for offenders placed under supervision in the community.
