Community Corrections Stakeholders,
Based on feedback from all of you and the data on the utilization of funding provided by the Correctional Treatment Board for treatment with those with substance use treatment needs, we have updated the policy on the utilization of these funds. Most of the policy has remained the same with the most significant changes including:
Clarification on allowance to utilize the funds for DUI Level II 4+ Treatment
Increase in allowance of Recovery Support Services up to 25%
Edited list of Recovery Support Services to align with Correctional Treatment Board Guidance
OCC CTF Outpatient Funding Policy Revised March 2024
