title: Florida Department of Corrections' substance abuse programs.
abstract: The Florida Department of Corrections has worked diligently to plan and implement a system of comprehensive institutional and community-based programs. These programs strive to establish a functional, cost-effective continuum of care for incarcerated individuals while providing necessary linkages essential to transferring inmates back into society with the knowledge and social skills necessary to lead a drug-free life. It is believed that a viable working model has been developed that will offer inmate services and, ultimately, afford them the opportunity and appropriate linkages to continue treatment as needed after incarceration.
