What is the NCDAC's approach to substance abuse treatment?

The NCDAC's approach to substance abuse treatment focuses on offering evidence-based treatment programs. This means that the methods used are grounded in scientific research and have been shown to be effective in treating substance use disorders. Evidence-based programs utilize techniques and strategies that are designed to address the specific needs of individuals struggling with addiction, helping them to build coping skills, understand their behavior, and ultimately work towards recovery.

By adopting this approach, the NCDAC aims to provide inmates with the best chance of overcoming their substance abuse issues while incarcerated, preparing them for a healthier reintegration into society upon release. These programs are structured to provide comprehensive care that not only addresses the addiction itself but also considers the underlying issues that may contribute to substance use, such as mental health disorders or trauma.
