The Arizona Department of Corrections values the self help/ mutual help support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and SMART Recovery offered through community volunteers. At units where inmates are permitted to meet in groups and contingent upon the availability of volunteers at the individual units, a variety of these groups are offered on a weekly basis.

The passage of Proposition 200 and its related subsequent legislative action now allows the Arizona Department of Corrections to use Proposition 200-generated funding for transitional/ aftercare services and treatment for offenders on community supervision. As a result, a unique partnership was established between the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) and the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS). Though an intergovernmental agreement, ADC has placed one staff position within each of the existing Regional Behavioral Health Authorities, which operate under DHS purview. These Correctional Officer/ Offender Liaisons (COOLs) work with Parole Officers to identify and refer offenders to community resources that best match their needs. Participating offenders pay a co-pay for all services but sliding fee scales bring programming within financial reach. The COOLs assist with transitional services and aftercare for offenders who have participated in one of ADC= s formal treatment programs as well as arrange drug and alcohol treatment for those who had no opportunity to participate.

Transitional and aftercare services and limited housing assistance are also offered through ADC case managers in the Men in Recovery and Women in Recovery programs, and through contracted community-based case managers in the Road to Recovery program. These services are limited to offenders who complete the Men in Recovery, Women in Recovery, and Road to Recovery programs only.
