INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide a ready source of information on special programs and services for alcohol and drug abuse offenders under CSC jurisdiction during the fiscal year 1984-85. In addition, it is the hope that this information will be useful as a means of enhancing communication and the exchange of information and ideas in relation to offender addictions programming.

The programs and services listed consist largely of those whose main goal was to address important correctional needs of alcohol and (other) drug abusing offenders. In a few cases, programs have been included where substance abuse was one of the major categories of behaviours targetted.

Section 1 provides standardized information on institutional programs. For 1984-85, this information has been broken down by security level. In some cases, the section includes references to programs and services in the outside community (especially A.A.) that were viewed as extensions of particular institutional programs.

Section 11 contains information on other addictions programs and services in the community that incarcerated offenders (excepting CCC residents) used during 1984-85. Again, this information has been broken down by institutional security level.

Section 111 provides information on the community programs and services to which offenders under parole supervision were referred. This information is presented by region, district, and (in most cases) area office. Section 111 also contains information on on-site addictions programs at CCC's.

The use of the term "referrals" in Section 111 is intended to cover cases where it may not have been known if the offender used the 'service. As well, since A.A. was often a component of other programs to which referrals were made, and offenders likely used A.A. without having been referred, the number of referrals reported for A.A. does not denote actual A.A. participation.

It is to be noted that the programs and services listed in Section 111 do not represent all the community resources that may have been available to offenders for problems of alcohol or drug abuse during 1984-85 (i.e., Section 111 lists only those programs and services to which offenders were referred). - 5 -

The references on page 270 illustrate the types of additional information that exist on many of the programs and services listed in this document -- and that readers can probably obtain. Appendix A contains highlights of findings to come out of Phase 11 of the Ontario Region Alcohol and Drug Treatment Development Project.

In a few cases, particular information does not appear in this document, either because it did not apply to the fiscal year 1984-85 or because attachments to correspondence were not forwarded to National Headquarters.

A special thanks is expressed to those people at Regional Headquarters and operational field units whose giving of that "little bit extra" in response to requests for data made the compiling of this material an easier task than would otherwise have been the case.

Program description: A 28-day program in total. Participating inmates reside in a special living unit designated for the program. The first two weeks of the program take place on a full time basis and consist of les- sons on substance abuse delivered by living unit officers and structured around a 9 lesson package.
