Tech Triumph: Louisiana's Treatment Court Cuts Time with Smartphones
“Our participants had fewer positive screens that we actually found just by having this device and actually remaining in communication and in contact with our participants on a much regular basis.”
Imagine reducing the time spent in the initial phase of a treatment program by nearly half. That's exactly what happened in Louisiana's 32nd Judicial District DWI/Drug Court. In this episode, Clarence McGuire, Jr., the Treatment Director, and Chuck Orms from Corrisoft, share their insights on a groundbreaking case study that used smartphone technology to achieve this remarkable feat.
They discuss the implementation of Corrisoft's AIR (Alternative to Incarceration via Rehabilitation) system, which combines a phone and a bracelet to keep participants accountable and connected with staff. The results? Fewer positive urine screens and improved overall outcomes. But it wasn't all smooth sailing; Clarence and Chuck also talk about the hurdles they faced and how they overcame them. If you're curious about how technology can revolutionize court programs and support recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
