This is a program for the treatment of incarcerated individuals who abuse drugs. This is an adaptation of the therapeutic community model, more flexible and personalized while less intense, with the aim of reducing substance use and criminal recidivism.
The program takes place in a specific gallery, with participants separated from the general prison population. Treatment includes group therapy, individual therapy, mental health monitoring, and medication management, and can be followed up after release from the prison system. In this case, inmates are monitored for six months by the community mental health center and parole officers.
