§ 97.110. Community-based therapeutic community.
(a) A participant who successfully completes the institutional therapeutic community portion of his DOTP and any required additional programming will be placed in a community-based therapeutic community. Placement in a community-based therapeutic community will not necessarily be made immediately upon successful completion of the institutional therapeutic community and any additional required programming, but will be made in sufficient time to permit the participant to complete the remaining portions of his DOTP.
(b) The participant will be required to continue engaging in his individual DOTP while housed in a community-based therapeutic community and may be required to participate in additional programming intended to address other treatment needs identified during his incarceration.
(c) The treatment staff of the community-based therapeutic community shall provide the Department with an informational report concerning the participant’s progress toward completion of the community-based treatment portion of the participant’s DOTP at the conclusion of the participant’s first 2 months in the community-based therapeutic community. The report must include a recommendation whether the participant has progressed sufficiently to begin the outpatient addiction treatment portion of his DOTP, if the participant should continue in the community-based treatment community, be returned to the institutional therapeutic community or to a State correctional institution or be expelled from the DOTP. The report must include specific reasons supporting the recommendation and a suggested plan for addressing any treatment deficiencies noted. The report shall be transmitted to the Chief of the Department’s Central Office Treatment Division or a designee.
(d) The Department will not be limited to approving or disapproving the recommendation of the community-based therapeutic community treatment staff and may select alternatives not recommended by the treatment staff.
(e) The Department may require the treatment staff of the community-based therapeutic community to submit reports in addition to the report required by subsection (c).
