(a) Shall reflect evidence-based practices;

(c) May include a drug and alcohol treatment component that meets the standards promulgated by the Oregon Health Authority pursuant to ORS 430.357;

(d) Shall be trauma-informed and gender-responsive; and

(e) Shall be at least 270 days’ duration.

(2) The department shall provide capital improvements and capital construction necessary for the implementation of the program.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the department may convert the structured special alternative incarceration program required by this section into an intensive alternative incarceration addiction program as described in ORS 421.506 if the department determines that the needs of offenders in the department’s custody would be better served by an intensive alternative incarceration addiction program than by the structured special alternative incarceration program.
