Traditionally, rural States have had difficulty accessing services. This case management system allows the program to search out and refer to the variety of services necessary for the clients' successful integration to the community. To ensure user accountability, the clients in case management receive sproradic urine monitoring. If the clients' results are positive, they return to the formal program with a new treatment plan. The Community Correctional Services Program has assumed the responsibility of drug testing for the clients of Probation and Parole.
Testing acts as a strong additional deterrent to client use and allows for user accountability.
The adult and adolescent programs pay particular attention to gaining access to the whole family whenever possible. The consortium has identified the fact that longlasting intervention requires contact with the family. Probably the single most important part of the program is the willingness of the counselors to regularly communicate the status of the clients to Probation and Parole. We do not report the content of counseling sessions, but we do report attendance and dangerous behavior. The adolescent program draws its treatment modality from the adult program.
