Connected helps people on Drug and Alcohol Treatment Orders focus on what they have, who they are and what they can do.
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has one of the highest rates of return to corrective services, with 63.4% of people released from the ACT prison returning to prison or community corrections within two years.
But, evidence from a 2022 review indicates newly created Drug and Alcohol Treatment Orders (DATO)s are starting to help.
But not enough people are graduating.
Of the 104 people who were assessed, only 50% were issued a DATO and 30% had their DATO canceled before completion.
