Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services

Mission:

The mission state of the Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services is to provide treatment to the detainees and incarcerated individuals in an attempt to help improve their quality of life, reduce recidivism and become productive citizens. To achieve this goal, we provide cognitive behavioral treatment to assist with the development of understanding and acceptance and introduce skills that will address their substance use disorder and lack of safe coping skills.

Specialized Programming:

  • Addiction Treatment Protocol (ATP) - an American Society of Addictions Medicine (ASAM) level I substance use disorder treatment program. This program provides both group and individual treatment services. The program focuses on clients learning new thinking patterns by applying new skill and tools to work on changing substance abuse and criminal thinking and behaviors. The program also focuses on learning to work on relationships with others, and prepares for re-entry.
  • Addicts Changing Together-Substance Abuse Program (ACT-SAP) - an American Society of Addictions Medicine (ASAM) level II.1 substance use disorder treatment program. ACT-SAP is specifically for male and female offenders in our pre-trail facilities. Offenders enter ACT-SAP through Drug Treatment Court, judge or lawyer referral or from their pre-trail case managers.
  • Peer Recovery Specialist Training Program - a training program for incarcerated individuals to become certified peer recovery specialists while serving their prison sentence. The Substance Use Treatment Staff operates as Register Peer Supervisors to help the trainees complete their training and supervision hours so the incarcerated persons can sit for exam to become certified peer recovery specialists.
  • Therapeutic Community (TC) - an American Society Addictions Medicine (ASAM) Level III.5 substance use disorder treatment program. It is a highly structured environment with defined boundaries, both moral and ethical. It employs community-imposed sanctions and penalties as well as earned advancement of status and privileges as part of the recovery and growth process.
  • MOUD Counseling - Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) program within the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), including the Division of Pretrial Detention and Services (DPDS) and the Division of Corrections (DOC). Incarcerated individuals who are prescribed MOUD also receive clinical services to include assessments, counseling, treatment planning, coordination of care, and discharge planning.
