How Does SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring Work?

SCRAM (Continuous Alcohol Monitoring) CAM is an ankle monitor that is worn 24/7 for a given period. The device tests the wearer’s perspiration for alcohol every 30 minutes over the course of the day. Wearers are not able to skip tests. Attempts to disable a test or tamper with the device are immediately reported.

If alcohol is consumed, a portion is excreted through the skin. Technology in the ankle bracelet is able to detect the presence of alcohol. Testing is automatic. Data from the test is then transmitted to the base station. The information is then uploaded all through SCRAM technologies. Alerts are generated if there is alcohol consumption or an attempt to circumvent testing.

Riverside SCRAM is now available to a wide range of clients. It can be used in connection with wi-fi, landlines, cellular, or through an ethernet cable.

Automated Testing 24/7

One of the most important features of the Riverside SCRAM bracelet is its automated testing. 24/7 monitoring helps keep wearers accountable and ensures that they are remaining sober throughout the required period. In standard random breath testing, a client could easily drink between tests depending on how the tests are scheduled.

With Riverside SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring, the wearer is tested every 30 minutes. The ankle monitor can detect “the entire drinking event,” showing the client’s rising blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as they continue to drink. As they stop drinking, the blood alcohol level peaks before beginning to decline as the alcohol metabolizes through the system.

Industry-Leading Technology

The continuous alcohol monitoring device can be used in a number of situations, including in family law matters and as a condition of pretrial release. The technology behind the device includes a tamper-resistant strap with hypo-allergenic soft rubber. The device contains infrared and temperature sensors which are able to detect obstructions and removal attempts. Notifications are sent if there are any tampering reports. The device can be worn under most pant legs and includes a 48-hour backup battery with the SCRAM Wireless Base Station. It can be used in conjunction with house arrest and location monitoring to monitor high-risk offenders.

Transdermal Alcohol Monitoring

The Riverside SCRAM CAM device uses transdermal alcohol monitoring. As alcohol is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestines. Then the body metabolizes alcohol in the liver, or it can be released through breath, urine, or sweat. As a person perspires, their sweat contains traces of alcohol that they consumed. The Riverside SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring device tests the wearer’s sweat for traces of alcohol and transmits that data to a wireless base station. The data is then uploaded through secure software.

Accountability and Compliance

Clients wearing the SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet are alcohol to continue engaging in all of their normal activities. This means that clients can go to work, the gym, even take a shower without having to worry about the device. By allowing individuals to continue to engage in normal daily activities, they can remain productive members of society while being held accountable for their sobriety. The revolutionary transdermal alcohol monitoring can distinguish between ingested alcohol and environmental alcohol, ensuring that consumption alerts are accurate.

Riverside GPS Location Monitoring

Riverside SCRAM GPS allows for 24/7 location monitoring. It is ideal for supervising high-risk offenders and uses the same innovative technology as the SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring device.

SCRAM GPS offers mobile solutions to supervising agencies. It can provide point-by-point data allowing officers to quickly find a wearer’s location. SCRAM GPS can be used in conjunction with continuous alcohol monitoring.

Proven Success

SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring has been used in over 1600 jurisdictions across the country. It is reliable, effective, and helps to promote accountability. In total, over 863,000 clients have been monitored using SCRAM technologies nationwide with an extraordinarily high compliance rate.

Of those monitored on a SCRAM CAM ankle bracelet, they have 99.1% sober days. Over 4 billion alcohol tests have been performed, and the numbers continue to grow. This critical tool is now available in Riverside, California, and the surrounding areas.

Reducing Recidivism

Riverside SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring technology has proven effective in reducing drunk driving recidivism.

Each year over 10,000 people lose their lives to drunk drivers. Driving under the influence has a high rate of repeat offenders, with many individuals being charged a second or third time within only a few years. The SCRAM ankle bracelet ensures that wearers are abstaining from alcohol while monitored.

By requiring continuous alcohol monitoring, a court or other supervising agency can ensure that the participant is not only not drinking but that they are not drinking and driving. Wearing the SCRAM CAM device protects the individual and the community from a potential drunk driving crash.

Why Choose Riverside SCRAM?

Riverside SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring can be utilized for both low- and high-risk offenders. It is helpful for anyone who is unable to stop drinking on their own and for those who are court-ordered to remain sober while they await the outcome of their case.

SCRAM CAM supports long-term behavior change, not just temporary sobriety. It is more productive than sending a person to jail, particularly if they have an underlying addiction to alcohol. Learn more about this vital tool by contacting Riverside SCRAM today.
