Alternatives to Drugs and Alcohol TreatmentSubstance use disorders impose a devastating health and emotional burden on individuals, families, communities and our Nation. This causes injury, illness, death and endangers public safety as well as contributes to many major social problems. People who suffer from this illness typically cannot see the signs of addiction or break free of its destructive progression without experienced guidance. Although substance use disorders are complex, CRR believes that they can be treated successfully.Despite years of concerted national, state and local efforts, drug and alcohol abuse issues continue to be among the most difficult personal, familial and social problems our culture faces. It is estimated that over 50 percent of the individuals in the Harris County jail system (the nation’s third-largest) have drug and alcohol problems, as do a similar percentage of the current inmates in Texas prisons. The reasons for this situation are varied, complex and inter-related, but one of the core solutions is effective, evidenced-based treatment. The average cost to keep a person in jail/prison is estimated at per year. The cost of a typical 90-day, outpatient treatment episode in CRR’S Alternative Program is $1,300. Most of our services are free to our clients.Program Background: CRR’s Alternative-to-Incarceration Program, now called the Alternative Substance Abuse Treatment Program, began in 1975. We now have over 50 years of continuous experience providing adult drug and alcohol treatment and supportive services for people attempting to recover from substance use disorders.
