SIP Broadband.wmv


Our Serial Inebriate Program (SIP) provides case management and substance abuse treatment services in lieu of custody time for chronic inebriates. The program was initiated as a problem-solving effort to reduce the revolving door serial inebriate syndrome wherein chronic, homeless alcoholics go in and out of Detox Centers, County Jail, and local Emergency Rooms for the criminal offense of drunk-in-public. SIP services include screening and assessment, non-residential substance abuse treatment, case management, housing, employment preparation and other supportive services to court sentenced chronic public inebriates as an alternative to custody. SIP is gender responsive and culturally sensitive, and offers services for clients with co-occurring disorders.

Center for Substance Abuse Treatment: MS13 Mara Salvatrucha Trece the Most Dangerous Gang Video 02

MS13 Mara Salvatrucha Trece The Most Dangerous Gang Video 02


Part 2 – MS 13 Mara Salvatrucha Trece. MS-13. The letter “M” is the 13th letter in the alphabet. The number 13 is superstitiously known as a number to be feared. Pretty fitting, considering the MS-13 Gang is now the most feared gang in all of America. Its violence is wreaking havoc on a growing number of cities and small communities across the country – making the MS-13 Gang “a terrorist organization right in our own backyard,” according Detroit Police Sgt. Harold Rochon, an expert trainer on gangs and the author of a book titled, “Terrorists in Designer Jeans.” This one-hour training broadcast will cover everything you need to know about the MS-13 Gang, from its origin to its identifiers – such as graffiti, tattoos, gang hand-signs and gang colors, to its method of recruiting, drug dealing, and plotting violent crimes in our communities – with a goal to help you gain the knowledge that will give you the power to better arm your agency in getting a grip on the drugs and crime that the MS-13 Gang is infiltrating into your jurisdiction.
