Section 1950.2 - Policy

To ensure a maximum benefit for the chemically dependent inmate, a CASAT program has been developed to assist these inmates in preparing for a successful transition to their families and communities upon release. The program design provides the sustained support and services necessary for an inmate's successful community reintegration. CASAT provides a three-phase continuum of intensive therapy programs:

(a) Phase 1 -- provided in a facility setting in an alcohol and substance abuse treatment correctional annex;

(b) Phase 2 -- a transitional period in a community reintegration component, which would include transfer to a work release facility for employment and placement in appropriate community-based programs, either in-house or on an out-patient basis, or participation in a residential treatment facility day reporting center program, or other employment and program arrangements recommended by the community-based treatment provider;

(c) Phase 3 -- an aftercare component in the community under parole supervision, which will provide for an orderly community transition for participants granted release by the parole board.
