Located in Warm Springs, MT, WATCh East operates as a private contractor with various government agency agreements providing state-minimum custody requirements. Programs are offered to all custody levels, including work release residents focused on reentry success. With a strong emphasis on rehabilitation, WATCh East provides comprehensive educational and vocational opportunities. Onsite amenities include dietary, health, fitness, educational, religious, and recreational services. Regular inspections ensure compliance with government standards, ensuring the facility's continued operation.
WATCh EAST operates as a 48-bed felony DUI treatment center primarily catering to women, with applicants admitted after screening by a panel comprising law enforcement officials, elected representatives, Department of Corrections staff, and community members. This program, established on February 1, 2005, is a joint venture between Community, Counseling, and Correctional Services, Inc. (CCCS) and the Montana Department of Corrections (MDOC), employing a Modified Therapeutic Community model for addiction treatment and addressing related social issues.
The initiative aims to offer an alternative approach to traditional sentencing for adult felony DUI offenders. While the Warm Springs-based WATCh Program primarily serves male DUI offenders with a capacity of 146 individuals, the introduction of WATCh EAST freed up 40 beds, facilitating the expansion of the Connections Corrections Program (CCP), a 60-day drug treatment facility in Butte, Montana. CCP, unlike WATCh programs focused on alcohol addiction, extends its services to men struggling with various drug dependencies, a critical need evident from the extensive waiting list exceeding 100 individuals.
Participants in the WATCh EAST Program engage in intensive programming seven days a week, undertaking individual assignments, recreational activities, religious opportunities, therapeutic tasks, and other projects as directed by their treatment team. The structured daily schedule ensures a balance between organized activities and free time, promoting consistency and routine in the rehabilitation process.
Cognitive Behavioral Programming constitutes a vital component of the program, with Cognitive Principles and Restructuring (CP&R) sessions conducted five days a week for about 1.5 hours per session. Delivered in both individual and group settings by trained staff, CP&R focuses on equipping participants with cognitive tools and strategies to effect behavioral change.
The WATCh East Program is structured into three distinct phases, each with specific requirements, individual responsibilities, and associated privileges. Progression through the phases is contingent upon endorsement by the treatment team, ensuring that participants meet predetermined milestones and demonstrate commitment to their rehabilitation journey.
Through its comprehensive approach integrating therapeutic interventions, cognitive restructuring, and structured programming, WATCh EAST aims to facilitate positive behavioral change and successful community reintegration for felony DUI offenders. The collaboration between CCCS and MDOC underscores a proactive response to addressing addiction-related challenges and promoting public safety by reducing recidivism rates among the target population.
