MDH Substance Abuse Treatment Program
The MDH Substance Abuse Treatment Program is an intensive 8-week community reintegration program developed exclusively for male offenders with a chronic history of substance use. The program has three overarching goals:
-
To assist residents in transitioning successfully from the institution to the community.
-
To provide residents with booster training to ensure the successful transfer of coping skills taught while incarcerated.
-
To focus on developing relapse prevention and maintenance skills that will facilitate a drug-free lifestyle.
The MDH Program is an open-ended program that permits continuous intake. It is offered over an eight week period. "Module 1: Orientation" and "Module 8: Reintegration" are delivered on a one-on-one basis. After completing Module 1 the participants enter the program at the beginning of any module.
