Abstract
Broad categories of treatments include detoxification, pharmacological, monitoring, community supervision, counseling, therapy, education, auxiliary services, and other. Although nearly all of the programs screen individuals, assess their intervention/treatment needs, and make appropriate referrals, this service is not listed as a separate category. Program setting may be correctional, hospital, or outpatient; the program may provide services in more than one category. Short term treatment is defined as 3 months or less and long term treatment as more than 3 months. A program may provide both short and long term services; in that case the program will provide both residential and outpatient treatment services. The directory specifically designates programs that provide services exclusively for drug dependent offenders; other programs serve both criminal justice and non-criminal clients.
