To strengthen our commitment to providing holistic solutions to our community monitoring clients, Corrisoft has added a reliable, industry-leading alcohol screening tool to the AIR® suite. This add-on feature allows pretrial agencies, treatment courts and other industry professionals to add an accountability tool to participants’ programming when alcohol addiction is a contributor to their circumstances.
Corrisoft’s alcohol screening tool supports industry best practices:
- It relies upon dependable technology. Our compact, fuel cell breathalyzer uses advanced technology to screen for alcohol consumption accurately and efficiently – including facial recognition, randomized and scheduled tests, test reminders and configurable GPS reporting.
- It Bluetooth® tethers with participant smartphones. By using existing, familiar technologies, we are enabling participants of all backgrounds to use the tools they need to remain compliant with their monitoring programs.
- It reports data quickly. You can almost immediately review a participant’s alcohol screening results from one easy-to-use platform. SMS notifications can be turned on, reporting test results or compliance failures and keeping supervisors up to date in real-time.
- It allows participants of all risk levels to easily transport and use the device wherever they go. Low-to-high risk offenders can bring the small, discrete alcohol screening device with them as they go to work, family obligations, community events and other outings. This promotes program compliance and builds trust as participants reenter society and encounter circumstances when alcohol is being served.
Why invest in alcohol screening tools?
Alcohol use and abuse have devastating effects on families, individuals and communities. Without accessible tools to monitor use and promote personal responsibility, managing addiction can be exceedingly challenging. Learn about the connections between alcohol and crime and how smart technology can support rehabilitation efforts.
Excessive alcohol use is detrimental to families our communities
Alcohol Use Disorder, often referred to as AUD, affects 14.8 million Americans. That’s approximately one out of every 24 people. The impact is staggering:
â—Ź Â Â Â Â Â Approximately 95,000 people will die this year from alcohol-related incidents.
â—Ź Â Â Â Â Â Alcohol will be involved in 97,000 sexual assaults on American college campuses.
â—Ź Â Â Â Â Â Nearly 55% of domestic assaults will involve an alcohol-impaired person.
Accurate screening allows for effective rehabilitation
AUD is a devastating disorder that can completely derail a person’s life. To effectively curb crime that results from consistent alcohol impairment, community monitoring programs need accurate tools to screen for alcohol use without negatively stigmatizing people in rehabilitation programs. By using CheckBAC® as a component of the AIR® program, supervisors can add additional accountability with tools that increase positive outcomes.
Education enhances the process
Maxx LMS®, the educational component of Corrisoft’s AIR® suite, provides access to peer-reviewed resources. This allows community monitoring partners to integrate rehabilitative educational information into the required programming materials for participants with an AUD diagnosis. These educational materials, in combination with the screening tool, can help people better understand and more confidently navigate the addiction recovery process.
Supporting communities requires a multifaceted approach
The effects of excessive alcohol use on communities are far-reaching, so our approach to combating it must be layered. With Corrisoft AIR®, you can configure a rehabilitation program that meets your participants’ needs– and with our added alcohol screening device, you can fight against one of the greatest challenges facing our communities.
