The Southern District of Florida provides counseling services to all federal defendants and offenders who have a substance abuse or alcohol related special condition. These services are provided through the use of either available community resources and/or contracted vendors. These cases are typically supervised by officers with specialized training or certification in the field of addictions.
Substance abuse treatment is a tool that helps U.S. Probation supervise or monitor defendants and offenders in the community. Treatment, which includes urine testing and services such as group counseling, individual counseling, family counseling and detoxification, is provided to persons who abuse illegal drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol. These individuals either are on probation, parole, supervised release or on pretrial supervision. Treatment is ordered either by the U.S. District Court or by the U.S. Parole Commission as a condition of releasing these persons to the community.
