Excerpt
Excerpt: This Final Project Report is being submitted by the Institute for Social Research (ISR), University of New Mexico in order to satisfy the requirements of award number 97-RTVX- KO02 for the project period January 1, 1997 to July 31, 1998. The original award was for one year from January 1,1997 to December 31,1997. This report is a process evaluation of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program at the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility (SNMCF) in Las Cruces, New Mexico. For a number of reasons we asked for and received a no cost extension for an additional seven months that extended the award date through July 31, 1998. For reasons, included later in this report, the RSAT Genesis program had start up problems which necessitated the request for a no cost extension. In addition, though the initial award start date was January 1, 1994 we did not receive the award until March 7, 1997 which meant we began after the official start date and we would not expend all our funds by December 31, 1997.
