(KNZA)-- A Peoria, Illinois based company will provide drug and alcohol abuse counseling for Jackson County inmates.
The Jackson County Commission during a recent special meeting signed a contract with Advance Correctional HealthCare to provide the services.
The Holton Recorder reports the company will provide a qualified alcohol/substance abuse mental health professional with a master’s degree to meet with local inmates three hours a week for an annual cost of about 77-hundred dollars.
The county still has a contract with Hiawatha-based KANZA Mental Health and Guidance Center to evaluate and treat inmates. However, KANZA doesn’t employ a drug abuse counselor.
