Individuals interested in earning continuing education credits can do so for an additional fee. Boone has been working with addicts from all walks of life for almost 30 years and has consulted and trained departments of correction, probation and parole officers, substance abuse counselors, social workers, school administrators and community leaders. During the course of his work, Boone developed a detailed drug-abuse treatment program for prisoners he named ESCAPE (Effective Substance Control Attitude Personal Encounter). The program was awarded the United Way Program of the Year Award in 1984 and is being used today by the Department of Corrections in West Virginia after being updated with present-day information.
