The mission of Future Hope Corrections Drug Treatment Transitional Facility will provide treatment for low-risk adult inmates and adult probation violators. This treatment facility will deal with drug related crimes on a case-by-case basis, while providing an education on illegal drugs and how to better understand drug addiction. By administering treatment and recovery programs, this facility will ensure its offenders a healthier life. With continued research on drug addiction, the facility will be able to develop and implement more recovery programs to maximize the effectiveness of Future Hope's DTTF. The goals will be to provide security and education to low-risk adult inmates and probation violators during their transitional phase of returning to society.
The Future Hope's DTTF will be a public built drug treatment facility both located in and operated by the County of Utopia. The facility will provide bed space for eight hundred low-risk inmates and probation violators.
