Return to Zoom Map - Prioritize SUD Treatment Over Incarceration
By adopting programs where law enforcement professionals can divert peopel from the typical criminal justice system and help them get the help then need in dealing with their drug use or Substance Use Disorder.
Contents
Background
LEAD is a pre-booking diversion program that allows officers to redirect low-level offenders engaged in drugs or prostitution activity to community-based services instead of jail and prosecution. LEAD participants begin working immediately with case managers to access services.[1]
According to a 2015 report by the International Centre for the Prevention of Crime (ICPC), "One of the [ONDCP] strategy's objectives for 2015 is to break the cycle of drug use, crime, delinquency, and incarceration by increasing by 5% the number of residential juvenile justice facilities offering substance abuse treatment, and increasing by 2.6% the number of treatment plans completed by individuals referred by the Criminal Justice System (ONDCP, 2012, p.18)."[1]
Other Programs
The S.M.A.R.T. Approach
SMART supports chronic misdemeanor offenders, particularly those who are otherwise resistant to intervention, with a case manager and offers individualized treatment and tailored housing placements. SMART prioritizes chronic misdemeanor offenders with acute drug addictions and complex social service needs.[2]See fact sheet here:
DTAP - Drug Treatment Alternative To Prison
This program had a high rate of success. See this evaluation report from 2003 for impressive statistics.
