Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inpatient facility provides a more structured environment and treatment intervention than outpatient services, probation, or parole. Long-term prison and court-mandated military-boot camp style facilities are not alternatives to jail settings as they are also incarceration options. Half-way houses are typically used for offenders transitioning from incarceration to the community or as a step-down from residential treatment programs.
