11 b Felon offenders with prior conviction levels II to VI and misdemeanants ( ) Y P with prior conviction levels II and III sentenced to intensive, high risk probation and found by assessment to have substance abuse problems. Currently, detoxification and regular outpatient and intensive outpatient services are available, but have limited capacity to absorb this population as previously indicated. Further, the services are not designed for this population. There are halfway houses throughout the state that provide residential services to this population. There is no residential facility in Orange or Chatham County. Inpatient services are provided to this population by the state program in Butner. It has limited capacity and is often at maximum capacity. A therapeutic community program in Durham is providing long-term residential services to this population and will accept residents from Orange and Chatham Counties. However, this program is new and needs support to maintain its viability.

To provide clinical evaluation to determine presence of addiction and coordinate and monitor the offenders interactions with the substance abuse treatment system.
