YADCC will provide the same counselling for clients that are still in school but will help them find a part time job versus a full time job.

    “Y-CAP is the single most effective program I have seen for righting the path of wayward youth. My experience as a DeSoto County attorney has shown me the long term benefit to the county that Y-CAP offers. Y-CAP is able to intervene in the lives of young people and provide an opportunity for that young person to become a productive citizen. By proper guidance through Y-CAP, juvenile offenders and at-risk youth are able to contribute to the community, rather than drain its law enforcement and other resources. Y-CAP is proven successful in helping youth by involving the entire family. The benefits of a successful graduate are far reaching and an asset to the community that is immeasurable.”

    The inmates in the RISE program are housed separately from general population. It is a four-phase program that requires 42 days in each phase. The R.I.S.E. program often times plays a role in Henrico’s Drug Court. If a client has not been to the RISE program and are struggling with recovery/ treatment, often the Drug Court team will sanction the client to complete the RISE program, and sometime just the first phase. By sending a client from Drug Court to the RISE program, it separates the client from environmental factors that might have caused a relapse or urge to use. The client has to go to class every day for 12 hours until the program is complete. This also gives the client time to “dry out” before returning to the program. Once the client completes RISE, the client then returns to the Drug Court program and resumes with his/her intense supervision. This may potentially motivate the participant to

    The Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJDATS) has orchestrated an agreement between the criminal justice and treatment fields to formulate a treatment modality of EBP’s that is conducive to the needs of individuals under correctional supervision in order to find the most effective method of treatment (Prendergast, 2011). Yet, until this plan goes into effect, problems will continue to arise. The restrictive nature of providing treatment, both inside and outside of institutions, will continue to make measuring the effectiveness of EBP’s on this cohort a cumbersome

  • The drug control policy of the United States

    1414 Words  | 3 Pages

    The current situation of drug control in the United States is imperfect and inadequate. Millions of men and women, both young and old, are affected by illicit drug use. It costs the United States about $6,123 every second because of drug use and its consequences (Office). Moreover, 90 percent of all adults with a substance use disorder started using under the age of 18 and half under the age of 15. Children who first smoke marijuana under the age of 14 are five times more likely to abuse drugs as adults than those who first use marijuana at age 18. Finally, the children of alcoholics are four times more likely to develop problems with alcohol (Prevent). Current legislation that has to do with the United States’ drug control policy is the Controlled Substances Act, which regulates the manufacture, importation, possession, use, and distribution of certain substances (Shannon). In 1966, Congress passed the Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Act also known as the NARA. This legislati...

  • Reflection On Project Risk Management

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper will reflect on the different uses of Project Risk Management and ways in which it can benefit organizations to have the ability to identify potential problems prior to the problem occurring. Risk, this is not something to be taken lightly whilst dealing with matters that include high end projects meeting specific details, deadlines and expectations for the end client. Project risk management teaches one to be aggressive early on in the phases of planning and implementing the tools for a project. This is usually easier as costs are less and the turnaround time to solve the issues at that present moment is beneficial rather than later. The result in a successful project for one’s self and other key people involved in the process is also another requirement. Stakeholder satisfaction is important because the
