Washington State's Residential Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative
This is a redirection program for the treatment of adults in conflict with the law and with problems associated with substance use. The aim is to offer an alternative to incarceration through a residential service for treatment in the community.
Participation is voluntary, with the possibility of withdrawing at any time, but in this case they return to the prison system to serve out the remainder of their sentence. At the end of the residential treatment, offenders are followed up for two more years in outpatient services, under community supervision.
