Adult Probation >Adult Probation Information >Substance Abuse Community Substance Abuse Treatment In 1996, Arizona voters passed Proposition 200 legislation whereby treatment, not incarceration, must accompany first and second time drug convictions. Through effective Cognitive Behavioral Treatment, participants are taught how to create new, drug-free lives for themselves and end the continuing drug cycle. The Drug Treatment Education Fund is a funding mechanism created to provide education and treatment services for offenders who fit the profile outlined in A.R.S. 13- 901.01.

The Community Substance Abuse Treatment Program offers five (5) treatment modalities: Substance Abuse Education, Motivational Enhancement, Substance Abuse Treatment, Intensive Treatment, and Laps/Relapse. Participants are placed into an appropriate treatment modality based on information gathered from the Adult Substance Use Survey (ASUS), completed at their Assessment and Referral Center (ARC) screening, and from assessment by a qualified DTEF Clinician.

During the assessment, participants are assigned to attend programming at one of the contracted treatment agencies in their area. Under the guidelines of "Best Practice", each treatment vendor uses Cognitive Behavioral principles to effect positive change in the participant's life. Through a continuing partnership between the treatment vendor, the Probation Officer and the Assessment and Referral Center, an effective plan of action is developed and constantly updated.
