Unique Programs

• The Renaissance Program: The Renaissance Program is a 70 bed residential alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment unit. The program uses cognitive behavioral therapy as the main approach of treatment. The Offender Substance Report has stated that cognitive behavioral therapy and social learning approaches can change an offender's behavior. Research also indicates through the National Institute of Justice that AOD programs incorporating criminogenic risks and needs are more successful. Social learning through criminogenic needs are both addressed within the Renaissance Program.
• The Sex Offender Program is a structured two level program.  The Mandatory Sex Offender program is a 24-session, mandatory, educational program for all medium-high and high risk sex offenders.  The Comprehensive Sex Offender program is a structured 9 to 18 month long program that focuses on programming interventions for sex offenders considered to be medium-high to high risk to re-offend if released back into the community.
