When
you toss a pebble into a pond,
at the point of contact you cause a change; a change that ripples out in all directions. And these waves of change are felt by whatever else they happen to touch. This simple image symbolizes both the vision and responsibility of who we are. |

Criminal
Justice and Substance Abuse Program
| The ChangePoint Criminal Justice and Substance Abuse Program (also known as the ChangePoint Probation Program) was conceived in 2001. The main objective of the program is to serve the community by offering treatment and professional assistance associated with substance abuse and criminogenic risk factors. The unique aspect of this program is its ability to initiate treatment at any stage of the client’s substance abuse/criminogenic condition. This is accomplished through a program design and methodology that is based on mutual cooperation and understanding between client, probation officer and ChangePoint clinician. The ultimate goals of this program are to stimulate clients to discover their own personal value and self worth and to find ways to make positive contributions to themselves, their families and the community. |  |

| Key Elements of the Criminal Justice and Substance Abuse Program | ||
| Treatment. The treatment approach for substance abuse/offender clients is founded on evidence-based studies and combines cognitive behavioral treatment with a strong emphasis on motivational interviewing. Aggression replacement therapy and dialectic behavior therapy are also used in the treatment process, which is focused on promoting client change in a pro-social and positive direction. | ||
| Counseling. Treatment includes group sessions as well as individual counseling as required on a case by case basis. | ||
| Relapse Prevention Therapy. The program places special importance on skill building aimed at preventing future substance abuse/criminal behavior. Skill building (personal and social) therapies focusing on relapse prevention include the understanding and identification of primary risk factors related to substance abuse and crime. | ||
| Case Management. Treatment includes case management and referrals to employment readiness agencies, housing services, mental health counseling, mutual help groups, psychiatric care and medical care as needed. | ||
