Correctional Therapeutic Community (CTC)
BodyText1
Correctional Therapeutic Community (CTC) for Substance Abusers is an
in-prison residential treatment intervention for incarcerated offenders
who have histories of multiple drug-involved arrests and chronic
substance abuse, are eligible for the in-prison work release program,
and are 6 months from prison release. It is designed to reduce any type
of rearrest, increase abstinence from illicit drug use, reduce illicit
drug use relapse, and increase postrelease employment among
participants. The 6-month intervention is provided as part of a work
release program in which participants become residents in an in-prison
work release therapeutic community facility separated from the rest of
the prison population. Below are a few key documents about CTC:
