Programs For Inmates
The Earned Release Program (ERP) at the Drug Abuse Correctional Center utilizes two core curriculums – Thinking for a Change (T4C) and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Substance Abuse (CBISA). The program is generally 20 weeks in length, but can be shorter or longer depending upon individual needs.
All inmates at DACC are required to fully participate in both program and work-related activities, and are required to be actively involved from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and until 6:00 p.m. on Fridays, excluding holidays.
A major emphasis of the Earned Release Program is community reentry. Inmates work extensively with their respective probation and parole officers.
Each inmate prepares a release plan that is reviewed and approved by staff. The sentencing court is notified when an inmate completes the program, at which time the sentence is modified to allow release on Extended Supervision.
