How many defendants and offenders have been placed in contract treatment programs?
In FY 2008, CSOSA made 2,247 contract substance abuse treatment placements, 402 transitional housing placements and 213 halfway back sanction placements. In addition, at any given time, up to 1,200 offenders are participating in CSOSA in-house substance abuse treatment or treatment readiness programming. Typically, an offender who has serious substance abuse issues requires a treatment program continuum consisting of three separate substance abuse treatment placements (in-house or contract) to fully address his or her issues. CSOSA has established contract substance use treatment, transitional (re-entrant) housing and halfway back sanctions capacity specifically for female offenders.
