Details: The In-Jail Substance Abuse Treatment Program, (JASA), operates in two counties; the Polk County Jail System in Bartow, Florida and the Highlands County Jail in Sebring, Florida. Tri-County Human Services, Inc., manages the Award Winning JASA program in cooperation with the Polk & Highlands County Sheriff's Departments. The target population for the program is individuals with admitted substance abuse problems and co-occurring disorders. The program works towards identifying behaviors which cause significant problems in the participant’s life and then working towards helping the client develop a firm foundation for recovery. Most of the participants in the program are of low income, have not completed high school and reside in areas of Polk and Highlands Counties. JASA provides treatment to the inmates in the jail system and is highly cost effective. The JASA program has saved taxpayer funds and freed space in the existing jails, limiting the need for new facilities. Participants learn new skills while in treatment that improve their lives and the lives of their families.
