Treatment Program

The Safety Center is a day treatment program for individuals who engage in harmful

sexual behaviors. We emphasize community safety, collaboration, and communication

in our Relapse Prevention model which works to integrate the dynamic healing power of

our clients' "system of support givers" into the healing process.

 

Our treatment program emphasizes integrating residential, occupational, and psychiatric services into a comprehensive, around the clock, model of relapse prevention treatment. We work with Level 1, 2 and 3 sexual offenders, offenders

on probation, and non-adjudicated offenders. Multiple interventions work together

to promote the relapse prevention process and to create genuine healing experiences

and change.

* Group counseling focuses on the acquisition of re-offense prevention skills

   and healthy peer interactions.

* Non-traditional family therapy integrates direct care providers into the

           therapeutic process and encourages a home environment that promotes

  healthy choices. 

* Experiential socialization, recreation and occupational therapeutic                    experiences give clients opportunities to practice re-offense prevention

   skills.

          

Program Phases

Safety Center program phases include:

*  Accountability
*  Identifying triggers
*  Developing stoppers
*  Developing empathy
*  Contracting, committing to, and practicing a healthy sexuality plan
*  Completion and aftercare

Each phase requires that clients meet certain behavioral criteria outside of day treatment, integrate therapeutic principles and demonstrate a commitment to their use.
