Programs Used

OPTIMAL USE: The PCADOS professional staff are certified alcohol and drug counselors, certified by the Indiana Counselors Association and the Indiana Judicial Center on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Probationers receive the most benefit from the program when the staff completes a Substance Abuse Assessment and determines from those findings the appropriate level of education. The Court's support in dealing with Probationers in non-compliance with the program is necessary confronting the substance abuse issues and assisting in breaking through the Probationer's denial of a problem.

TARGETED OFFENDER POPULATION: All Probationers convicted of alcohol/drug related offenses as ordered by the Court to participate in the program. Probationers between the age of 18 and 20 years who are convicted on their first offense of Minor Consuming, Transporting, or Possessing Alcohol are generally ordered into the One Day School which requires them to attend a one time, two hour session class. Driving While Intoxicated Probationers in this age group are not appropriate for the One Day School.
