As a law enforcement or criminal justice professional, you understand the impact that addiction can have on individuals and communities. Spero Health is a comprehensive addiction treatment provider that offers evidence-based treatment programs and compassionate care for those struggling with addiction. Here’s how we can work with law enforcement and criminal justice professionals to address addiction and reduce recidivism rates in local communities:

  1. Diversion: At Spero Health, we understand the importance of diversion programs in curbing addiction and reducing recidivism rates. We have measures in place to help prevent diversion such as mandatory medication counts each visit and lab testing. We offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and support services to help individuals overcome addiction and achieve long-term recovery. Research shows that addiction treatment is more effective than punishment in reducing recidivism rates and improving community safety. In fact, a study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that individuals who received addiction treatment had a 40-60% lower chance of returning to drug use and criminal behavior.
  2. Court-Ordered Treatment Referrals: Spero Health works closely with the criminal justice system to provide court-ordered treatment referrals for those struggling with addiction. We understand the importance of addressing addiction as a disease and providing individuals with the help they need to overcome it. Our evidence-based treatment programs are tailored to each individual’s needs and are designed to help them achieve long-term recovery. Research shows that court-ordered treatment is an effective way to reduce recidivism rates and save costs associated with repeated arrests and incarcerations.
  3. Collaboration with Law Enforcement: Spero Health collaborates with law enforcement to provide support and education around addiction treatment and other community outreach initiatives. We work closely with law enforcement to identify and treat individuals who are struggling with addiction, and we provide ongoing support to help them maintain their sobriety. Research shows that collaboration between addiction treatment providers and law enforcement can help reduce drug-related crimes and improve community safety.

Research and Data: There is significant research and data that supports the effectiveness of addiction treatment as an alternative to punishment. A study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that addiction treatment can lead to reduced recidivism rates, improved community safety, and cost savings for the criminal justice system. In addition, a study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that individuals who received addiction treatment had a 64% reduction in criminal activity and a 57% reduction in arrests.

Spero Health is committed to working with law enforcement and criminal justice professionals to address addiction and reduce recidivism rates. We understand the impact that addiction can have on individuals and communities, and we are here to provide evidence-based treatment options and support services to those in need.
