Carlsbad (New Mexico) Current-Argus Commission hears from Lifeline supporters By Stella Davis Current-Argus Staff Writer Jan 4, 2006, 06:00 am Email this article <http://www.currentargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060104/NEWS01/601040301//apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060104/NEWS01/601040301/1001&template=printart>Printer friendly page CARLSBAD -- Fearing that the Eddy County Commission was going to axe the controversial Lifeline program at the Eddy County Detention Center, supporters showed up in force Tuesday to urge the commission to let the program continue. Their effort to convince the majority of the commissioners that the program is working was successful -- at least for now. . . . Explaining the program, Leslie Johnson, Eddy County Detention Center warden, said it is a modified therapeutic community program. She said therapeutic communities were originally developed to treat hardcore heroin-dependent criminals. Now, she said, the program addresses other addictions, such as abusive behavior, criminal activity and associated problems that reduce an individual's capacity to function appropriately in society.
