The KEY Program
• The KEY is the first component of Delaware's substance abuse treatment
regimen for offenders with a history of substance abuse. KEY is a prison- ,
i based therapeutic community for men and women - a total treatment
4 environment that is discipline—based, intense and isolated from the rest of the
prison population. Today, the KEY program can accommodate approximately
420 participants a year throughout the prison system.
• The primary goal of KEY is to change negative patterns of behavior, thinking
and feelings that predispose one toward drug abuse.
• The KEY program started at the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution
_ (then the Multi Purpose Criminal Justice Facility) (Gander Hill) on July 21, (
1988 with 20 inmates. KEY South at the Sussex Correctional institution started
November 1997.
• The treatment perspective of the KEY programs is that drug abuse is a
disorder of the whole person; addiction is the symptom, not the essence of the
disorder. The primary goal is to change negative patterns of behavior, thinking
and feeling that predispose one toward drug abuse.
• inmates typically become involved in the KEY program during the last 12-18
months of incarceration. This allows material learned in the program to stay in
the forefront ofthe offender's mind as he/she moves to the next stage of
substance abuse treatment.
• The program provides a disciplined, regimented routine for inmates. They do
not have access to television or telephones during the day. Free time can be
taken away as a consequence of inappropriate behavior.
• KEY participants are called "family" members. Undertaking responsibility is

essential to treatment at the KEY. For example, some "family" members are
part of the media crew, which develops motivational signs and displays
appropriate news articles. V
• Programming is scheduled seven days a week with KEY staff members' l
oversight. Inmates have access to staff counselors daily should they need to
discuss issues related to their treatment. l
• inmates must meet twice a week with their caseload group (several other l
inmate members) to discuss issues important to their own recovery. I
• inmates who have been part of the KEY program for several months are l
required to present "peer seminars" to other inmate members regarding issues
important to their own recovery.

The Crest Program
• Crest is the second component of Delaware's substance abuse treatment
program for offenders. Crest Outreach Centers are residential centers for both
J men and women. The Crest program allows recovering substance abusers to
continue their treatment as they transition to the community. Offenders must
display pro—social behaviors such as honesty, responsibility and accountability
prior to being hired for jobs in the community. Typically, offenders work during ,
; the day and return to their assigned Center at night for therapy, counseling or
treatment.
• The Crest program is 6 months in duration. The first three months are spent
entirely at the Crest Center with the offender engaged full-time in substance
abuse treatment. In the second three months in the program, offenders
become involved in the work release portion of the program. Offenders job
i seek or work during the day then return to the Crest Center at night for l
continued substance abuse therapy and to sleep.
• Offenders go through several phases of treatment during their time in the Crest

Effectiveness:
• A University of Delaware study ofthe DOC's drug treatment continuum found:
Of those completing the continuum, 76 percent remained drug~free and 71
percent remained arrest free after 18 months. ln a control group that did not {
receive the continuum, only 19 percent remained drug—free and 30 percent l
arrest—free after 18 months. {
• A study by the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs estimates {
that for every $1 spent on substance abuse treatment, $7 is saved in criminal ,
justice costs - making treatment a long—term, cost-effective approach toward {
reducing crime.
Fast Facts about the Delaware Department of Correction's substance abuse
treatment continuum:
• The Delaware Department of Correction immediately found that the KEY
section of the prison is the cleanest, safest, most troubIe—free section of the
facility.
• The KEY was established in 1988 by a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant. ln
1990, Delawares Department of Correction assumed funding of the program.
• ln February 1999, a delegation from Argentina visited the KEY Village program
at the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution. The delegation explored
bringing an intensive substance abuse treatment program to their region and
chose Delaware's model to study.
• ln April 1999, a delegation from Australia visited the KEY program at the
Howard R. Young Correctional Institution, (then i\/IPCJF), the KEY Village at
§ the Baylor Women's Correctional institution and the Crest program at the
Plummer Community Corrections Center. The delegation explored bringing an
intensive substance abuse treatment program to their region and chose
Delaware's model to study. ”
• ln June 1999, Department of Correction Commissioner Stan Taylor led a group
of DOC officials to Argentina to follow up with the delegation that visited in
February. Commissioner Taylor and his staff offered additional assistance to
the Argeritines in setting up a substance abuse treatment program.
• ln 1997, then U.S. Drug Czar, General Barry l\/lcCaffrey, visited the KEY ‘
program at the Howard R. Young Correctional institution (then l\/IPCJF), the
§ KEY Village program at the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution and the
Crest program at the Plummer Community Corrections Center. McCaffrey {
praised Delawares prison—based substance abuse programs as a role model I
for the ntion in turning around lives and reducing crime. {
