Treatment Courts: Cultivating Long-Term Change

Formerly known as DWI Court, the Brazoria County Recovery Court program focuses on supporting participants in overcoming addiction. Unlike traditional probation or incarceration, which often fail to address the root causes of addiction, Recovery Court provides personalized, one-on-one support tailored to each individual’s needs. Participants are guided through treatment and encouraged to remain in the program until they are committed to their recovery journey

Client Voices: How a Service Provider’s Encouragement Led to Recovery

The road to recovery is often long and filled with detours, and for Danny, it took treatment and a few key people that believed in him to reach a sober life: SCRAM CAM®, a judge, and his SCRAM Systems Service Provider. All of these combined elements gave Danny the tools and encouragement he needed to make his way, one minute, hour, and day at a time without alcohol.

Save Time and Resources with Portable Alcohol Monitoring

Many courts and community corrections agencies consistently feel the pressure of casework overload. Efficient alcohol testing and monitoring is a crucial factor in reducing case backlogs and can provide more time for quality client interaction. Accurate and reliable alcohol testing technology is the key to saving time and resources, and portable alcohol monitoring is at the top of the list.

Ignition Interlock Devices—Does Size Matter? 

Some alcohol monitoring clients need an ignition interlock device (IID), sometimes called a vehicle breathalyzer—but is the size of an IID important? For community corrections departments or supervision agencies that offer, or are considering offering interlock devices, size does matter. When comparing different IIDs on the market, LifeSafer® ignition interlock devices are smaller and more discreet and provide reliable BrAC readings.

Empowering Clients to Regain Their Freedom to Drive

The focus of any court-mandated ignition interlock program is to keep participants, their families, and their communities safe. Statistics show that having an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in a vehicle greatly reduces the rate of alcohol-related crashes and fatalities. Successful mandated and voluntary program completion also promotes client recovery.
