According to Rick Voytko, DATS Supervisor, the criteria for successhl program completion<br />
consist of an inmate working through each phase and the classes that are proscribed for each<br />
phase. Essentially, successful completion means that an inmate has completed a1 of the work and<br />
has attained a certificate. In most instances, this completion takes one year, but this is not a<br />
mandatory time frame. Inmates have been able to complete the treatment program in 10-1 1<br />
months, depending on the setbacks they might encounter during the program (i.e., reprimand,<br />
failure to successfully grasp concepts in a timely m er).<br />
