Specialty Programs and Courts
SAFPF Caseload
The Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility (SAFPF) provides services to qualified probationers identified as needing substance abuse treatment. The program is 6 months in length for regular needs probationers. A nine-month program is provided for special needs probationers who have a mental health and/or medical diagnoses. SAFPF is followed by up to three months of residential aftercare in a transitional treatment center (TTC), six to nine months of outpatient aftercare and up to 12 months of support groups and follow-up supervision. In addition to treatment services, upon release from SAFPF probationers participate in SAFPF Freedom Court and are placed on intensive supervision. Close monitoring ensures accountability for the probationers and allows for immediate response to probation violations.
Mental Health Initiative Caseloads
The defendants on these caseloads have a diagnosed special mental health need or have an intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder), or have a Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) level of 50 or below and are higher risk probationers. Probationers are supervised more closely, are worked with closely to monitor medications, attendance in counseling programs and their use of life skills. The probationers on these caseloads also have exclusive access to the Changing Lives by Changing Outcomes program which is an intensive group therapy program run by the Department of Psychology at Texas Tech University which is designed to address the needs of mentally ill probationers.
CRTC Aftercare caseload
Defendants on this caseload have completed the Lubbock County Court Residential Treatment Center (CRTC) or a similar program at a Community Corrections Facility (CCF) on the substance abuse track. Defendants are required to report once per week or as directed by their Officer, attend and complete individual or Relapse Prevention Groups, call daily for random drug testing and are encouraged to attend AA/NA meetings.
If defendants are not able or are unwilling to comply with ISP (weekly reporting) terms and conditions, placement in a re-entry court program, Freedom Court, may be enforced. Freedom Court lasts at least 9 months and may be extended as needed on a case-by-case basis. Freedom Court participants will be required to participate in treatment, participate in a twelve step program, remain clean and sober, and be provided other services deemed necessary to facilitate positive changes in their lives.
Sex Offender Caseload
Caseloads for Sex Offenders entail intensive supervision with more reporting requirements for the defendants, more field surveillance by the officers, and closer monitoring of the conditions of supervision. The supervising officers work very closely with sex offender treatment providers, with the offender’s family members, and with law enforcement to promote community safety. Sex offender conditions may include Internet restrictions and computer monitoring, restricted or prohibited contact with minors, GPS monitoring, and sex offender registration.
