The program is a voluntary program and is a joint effort between Tulare County Sheriff’s department and Alternative Services. The mission is to provide a choice for positive lifestyle changes for the incarcerated population and their families through facility and community based services.

Women’s Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program

The Women’s RSAT Program is a 4-12 month substance abuse program housed at the Pre-Trial Facility in Unit 4B and has the capacity for 25 participants. The program promotes positive social behavior and prepares inmates for release by developing the knowledge and skills necessary to avoid substance use relapse and successfully integrate back into the community.
