What is the focus of PRSAP?

The focus of the Pre-release Substance Abuse Program (PRSAP) is to provide support and resources for individuals who are preparing to transition from incarceration back to the community. This program specifically targets individuals who are about to be released, offering them tools and strategies to address substance abuse issues prior to their reintegration into society.

By emphasizing the pre-release stage, the program aims to reduce the likelihood of reoffending and substance abuse relapse after individuals leave the correctional facility. It is designed to help participants understand and cope with their challenges related to substance use, ultimately promoting more successful outcomes in their reintegration process.

This proactive approach contrasts with other programs which may focus on different phases of incarceration or rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of early intervention in addressing substance abuse.
