Hi i need some info. My husband got arrested for drugs.

They are saying that he can do a drug program where he does like a year of in patient and a year of out patient.

Does anyone have any info on this or answer questions I have on this.

Thanks

Many programs out there. Check the DOCs site.
Willard, CASAT a lot depends on the charge, length of sentence, past history.
ANother possibility is Dug Court

if your looking for programs in NY(not in NY facilites) try "task force" or day top. also most (not all) hospitals have a in pt drug program , i just dont think they will hold him for a year its usually up to 30 days. depending on the actually crime and his past history the 2 programs i mentioned in my 1st sentence will go in to court and try to get a judge to release the defendant to them instead of a prison

I have a friend thats in Safp, which sounds like what your talking about. I went to court, opted for the intense rehab program. He's been gone about a year now, I believe its like a step program, step1, detoxing, intense rehab, 4 hours of classroom a day, exercise in a.m. and p.m... after a certain amount of time like 2 months i think you will get to make a 5 min phone call, you have money on your books like a real prison does. Not sure now many phone calls you can have with him, but not many till your 6 months are up, then i think after that you will get a 3 day pass if applicable, maybe longer... but our friend got to come home around the 6 month mark, he now works a full time job and has a girlfriend. Says it saved his life. This part is heresay, not confirmed but i also heard that you pay back a portion of the money you make to clear your debt. He's was in there a 1 year in Feb. Hope this helps..

This isn't his first offence, he has a bad record so I doubt he will only get 30 days. I did find out it is drug court he is going to on March 18th so we will see from there.

Not sure what drug court entails but I know it is an inpatient and then out patient. that is about it
