Community Supervision Drug Programs
Many Community Supervision Offenders Participate in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
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 that the majority (84.1%) 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), non-secure (movement is less restricted), and post prison transitional (treatment available after prison release) programs.
- While the number of drug tests increased slightly last year (bar chart below), the percentage of positive drug tests decreased from 9.2% in FY 2004-05 to 8.4% in FY 2006-07.
