Rehabilitation and Reentry Programs Division

Substance Abuse Treatment Program
It is the mission of the Substance Abuse Treatment Program
to provide a continuum of substance
abuse treatment services and accountability
programming appropriate to the needs of
the individual offenders, from time of
commitment to the termination of
community supervision or parole,
thereby reducing recidivism and improving public safety.

Goals are to:
* Use treatment and accountability programs to reduce recidivism.

* Make security a partner in substance abuse treatment,
recognizing that treatment is more effective
when security is an integral part of treatment.

* Use substance abuse treatment programming to
improve the work environment of correctional officers.

* Strongly support Alcoholics Anonymous (AA),
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and
other self-help groups.

* Develop a range of substance abuse treatment and
accountability programming so that TDCJ
can cost-effectively address different
levels of chemical dependency and criminality.

* Develop a uniform screening and assessment of
processes throughout TDCJ,
and place substance abusing offenders in
programming that provides the appropriate level
of treatment and accountability programming.

* Use management practices and management information systems
that track individual substance abusing offenders
through every stage of involvement with TDCJ.

* Require close coordination between TDCJ divisions to
ensure substance abusing offenders do not fall between
the cracks of treatment and accountability programming.

* Use outcome evaluation and process evaluation to
analyze programming, and improve programming
based upon evaluation results.

* A Quality Assurance Process shall ensure
the quality of service delivery

The following is a summary of programs by division:

Community Justice Assistance Division/Community
Supervision and Corrections Departments:

Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (SATF)
- a residential community corrections facility
designed specifically to deal with offenders on community
supervision who have substance abuse problems.
The court may place an offender in a SATF
for no less than one month and not more than 24 months.

Specialized Caseloads
- a strategy to manage offenders through
the intensification of supervision services.

Treatment Alternative to Incarceration Program (TAIP)
- ensures rapid placement in treatment,
which is crucial in preventing recidivism
or relapse in the offender population.

Correctional Institutions Division:

Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facilities (SAFP)
- An intensive six-month therapeutic community program
(nine-month program for offenders with special needs)
for offenders who are sentenced by a judge as
a condition of community supervision or
as a modification of parole/community supervision.
The program consists of:
Phase I (Orientation),
a comprehensive assessment and
orientation of the Therapeutic Community;

Phase II (Main Treatment),
which includes education, skills training,
offender lifestyle confrontation,
family dynamics, and peer support groups;

and Phase III (Re-Entry),
the education of offenders in the development
of social skills and the recognition
of the triggers of relapse.
Upon completion of the SAFPF program,
offenders are placed in a community residential
facility/Transitional Treatment Center
for three months, followed by outpatient
treatment for up to twelve additional months.
The aftercare phase administers a diverse range of
therapeutic, residential,
outpatient, and resource programs.
The Special Needs program provides
educational components that address
Axis I mental disorders as well
as personality disorders,
medication regimentation,
and the interaction of disorders
with substances of abuse.

Screening and Assessment
- Each offender is assessed for
substance or alcohol use/abuse,
and, based on that assessment,
may be referred to a
peer support group such as
Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous,
and Secular Organization for Sobriety (SOS),
facilitated by community volunteers.
Community volunteers may also provide assistance
in the transition to community-based support groups.
If the assessment score is indicative
of a serious substance abuse problem,
offenders may be selected to participate in
one of the pre-release programs or
the In-Prison Therapeutic Community.

In-Prison Therapeutic Community (IPTC)
- An intensive six-month treatment program for
eligible offenders who are within six months of
parole release and who are identified as
needing substance abuse treatment.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles
must vote to place qualified offenders
in the therapeutic community program
and successful graduates are
then released on parole.
Programming is similar to
that of the SAFPF program.
Treatment also includes an aftercare phase
which consists of residential care
for three months followed
by nine to twelve months of outpatient counseling.

Pre-Release Substance Abuse Program (PRSAP)
- An intensive six-month program for
eligible offenders within six to nine months
of release as identified by the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice
(TDCJ) Programs Division,
Classification Department and Parole Division.
Treatment modality is similar to
the SAFPF program and includes three phases.

Pre-Release Therapeutic Community (PRTC)
- An intensive six-month treatment program for
offenders in a therapeutic community setting
which provides pre-release services to
offenders within seven months of release.
The PRTC is comprised of three components:
educational/vocational,
substance abuse treatment,
and cognitive restructuring.

Parole Division:

Substance Abuse Supervision Program (SASP)
- is targeted for releasees who have not been
to an In-Prison Therapeutic Community
or Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility,
but who have substance abuse problems.
Once identified by either a positive drug test,
Board-imposed Special Condition for
substance abuse or through self-admission,
the parole officer,
using the Substance Abuse Risk Instrument,
assesses the offender.
The instrument determines three levels of service.
Level 1
offenders receive Substance Abuse Education Programming,
Level 2
offenders receive Substance Abuse Supervision
Programming which includes assessment,
group and individual counseling by
a Parole Division counselor.
All counselors are Licensed Chemical
Dependency Counselors (LCDC) housed at
District Resource Centers and
District Parole Offices throughout the state.
Level 3
offenders are referred to local community
resources to include outpatient counseling,
residential or detoxification.

Drug and Alcohol Testing
- is used to help parole officers identify
substance abusers, refer them to appropriate
treatment programs and monitor progress.

Transitional Treatment Center (TTC)
- is targeted for those releasees who have participated
in the In-Prison Therapeutic Community (IPTC)
or Substance Abuse Felony Punishment
Facility (SAFP) programs.
The TTC is the aftercare component of
the treatment program for releasees from
the IPTC and SAFP facilities,
and lasts for three months.
An additional twelve months of
outpatient care follows.
Specially trained parole officers
supervise offenders.
