Programs and Services
CSOSA is committed to ensuring that offenders have access to the programs and services they need to establish productive, crime-free lives. The agency provides a broad range of treatment and assessment services as well as education and employment-related services. We also refer offenders to services that we do not provide directly, including substance and mental health treatment and job training.
Substance Abuse Treatment
CSOSA contracts with private service providers for a range of residential, outpatient, and transitional substance abuse treatment services. Contract providers also perform mental health screenings and assessments to identify and address the various treatment needs of offender population.
