The modality of treatment includes group therapy and individual treatment planning sessions to meet individual needs and promote healthy integration into the community. In treatment, clients focus on identifying and replacing maladaptive cognitive patterns that supported the offending behavior and creating a plan to live a healthy lifestyle.
