A detailed look at how North Carolina studied inmate substance abuse and explored a therapy program for offenders.

This report explains how a dedicated committee and staff examined feasibility, structure, and costs to address addiction behind prison walls.

The study describes the goals, setting, and recommended approach, including a separate facility for about 100 inmates, seven-day-a-week programming modeled on Alcoholics Anonymous, and transitional support before and after release. It also summarizes lessons from an Arkansas program and outlines staffing, oversight, and implementation timelines.
What you’ll experience:

The framework of the study, including how committees were formed and what authorities guided the work.
Key findings about the link between alcohol, drugs, and crime, and the idea that treatment works, not punishment alone.
A practical blueprint for a therapy program, from facility layout to staffing and program components.
A look at proven ideas from other states and the recommended steps to move forward in North Carolina.

Ideal for readers of policy reports on corrections, addiction treatment, and program planning in the criminal justice system.
