Comprehensive Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment

Incarcerated individuals approved for Presumptive Work Release are provided CASAT in three phases.

- Phase III - Aftercare (community transition and ongoing treatment for participants released to Community Supervision).
Not all individuals are eligible for all phases, but everyone at Hale does participate in Phase I.

Students become familiar with software applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and desktop publishing. In addition, instruction is offered in filing, mailing procedures, bookkeeping, and business correspondence.
Relapse Treatment
Intensive 60-day substance abuse treatment for incarcerated individuals participating in a continuous Temporary Release program who submit a positive urinalysis or report substance use.
