DESCRIPTION: The Texas Commission on Alchohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA) announces the availability of funds to provide chemically-dependent offenders with screening, assessment, referral, and placement into an approved chemical dependency treatment program. The project is designed as a linkage between community-based chemical dependency treatment systems and the criminal justice system in order to serve a common population more efficiently. It serves as a source of relief to the overburdened criminal justice system by providing an avenue of direct treatment referrals for chemically-dependent offenders who may benefit more from treatment than incarceration. TAIP allows for the coerciveness of criminal justice sanctions to benefit treatment approaches by exerting additional pressure on the offender to remain compliant with treatment plans. It creates an alternative that may deter the offender from further chemical dependency-related offenses or incarceration and may also encourage participating offenders to not victimize the community-at-large with ongoing criminal behavior.
