Many offenders on community supervision participate in substance abuse programs or are routinely tested for drugs as part of their probation or supervision sentences.

• The pie chart below shows the majority (83.0%) of those on community supervision who are participating in community-based substance abuse treatment programs do so on an outpatient basis. The other types of programs available to these offenders include secure (movement beyond the facility is restricted) and non-secure (movement is less restricted) programs.
  
  
• The bar chart below shows that of those who entered residential community-based drug treatment programs in FY 2002-03, 79.4% of those who successfully completed secure programs and 64.0% of those who completed non-secure programs have had no recommitment to Florida state prison or supervision after two years.
