The program focuses on the needs of offenders on community supervision who have substance abuse and other treatment needs. It includes a cognitive change component that gives participants the opportunity to change their behaviors and improve chances of success in the community.
• Family Connections Center - Assists inmates and their families in maintaining healthy relationships.
