Substance Use Disorder Treatment

The Alaska Department of Corrections uses the Containment Supervision Model for management of sex offenders. The Containment Model is the best practice for the supervision of sex offenders and the most successful at reducing sex crime recidivism. The Containment Model uses specially trained probation/parole officers, polygraph testing and focused cognitive-behavioral sex offender treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based structured approach to treatment which promotes prosocial behavior and challenges negative or deviant thought patterns in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns.

1 FT clinician (MHCIII) oversees release planning for mentally ill offenders returning to the community through four DOC release programs. All programs coordinate referral and community based treatment for individuals released back into the community from a correctional facility. All program participants must meet diagnostic criteria and require the approval of project staff for entry.
