This is a program for treating incarcerated individuals with problems associated with drug abuse. The aim is to change the negative patterns of behavior, thinking, and feelings that predispose the individual to the abusive use of psychoactive substances.
1) At the primary level, closed prisoners are assisted through access to behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing first on changing behavior and then emotion;
2) At the secondary level, inmates in work-release units are cared for through occupational inclusion and the continuation of drug treatment in the community;
3) The tertiary level serves those on parole or community supervision, who usually work during the day and return in the evening to the designated center for therapy, counseling, or treatment.
Finally, a process of adaptation to life in freedom is carried out, which includes: release, assessment and orientation, finding a job and keeping it.
