WATCh Program

WARM SPRINGS, ADDICTION, TREATMENT, & CHANGE

WATCh is a partnership between Community, Counseling, and Correctional Services, Inc. (CCCS) and the Montana Department of Corrections (MDOC).

The program is based on a Modified Therapeutic Community model of treating addiction and the subsequent social issues.

The WATCh Program opened on February 1, 2002 and was the culmination of efforts by CCCS and MDOC to provide effective treatment and correctional programming services for a rapidly increasing segment of the adult male population who are chemically dependent.

WATCh is an alternative,pro-active response to traditional sentencing of adult felony DUI offenders.

The WATCh Program is located in the Xanthopoulos Building on the campus of Montana State Hospital, Warm Springs, Montana. The Warm Springs Campus is located in Southwestern Montana approximately 20 miles Northwest of Butte on Interstate 90.

WATCh serves male fourth and subsequent DUI offenders and has a capacity of 115 individuals. This program is a cost-effective sentencing alternative that allows individuals to receive treatment in lieu of extended stays in jail or prison.
