I worked for sometime as an Addiction Counselor at Tomoka Correctional
Institution here in Daytona Beach,and the program was referred to
as Tier IV. This year they have switched to a Tier I program.
The Tier IV program was structured ion the notion of a Therapeutic
Community-tyhe inmates played a significant role in managing the
program.With the current Tier 1 program,it is more individualized
and therapy is more on a one on one basis.
I suspect that re Educational Institutions,the Tiers may refer
to the levels to which the instructor and students are responsible
the modus operandi of strategies and outcomes.
