Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
The Grove is proposing to add 100 treatment slots to be used for criminal justice offenders who are charged with drug offenses or have a history of drug use. Many of these offenders have used drugs for a number of years and have been unsuccessful in breaking the cycle of addiction. The array of treatment options available to these individuals will increase the likelihood of success by holding them accountable for their actions, reduce victimization by intervening early through the provision of needed services and improving overall health. The services offered will range from ambulatory detoxification, intensive outpatient, outpatient and aftercare services for the targeted population. Individual, group and family counseling services will also be provided with special emphasis on relapse prevention strategies. The proposed budget issue will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the system through the provision of a continuum of services for criminal justice involved individuals who have experienced difficulty in accessing treatment providers, and will complement and be accessible to the Seminole Drug Court initiative. |
