Working to make people, families, and our
community, stronger, healthier, and safer.
Correctional Transition Services, Inc. (CTSI) is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to providing unique community-based programming
for individuals transitioning from the correctional system to society.
CTSI believes without reservation that all people possess the
ability to make positive life changes and contribute to the good of
their communities. Based upon this belief, CTSI provides chemical
dependency treatment and cognitive re-structuring intervention and
encourages change by demanding responsibility and accountability from
its clientele.
Ultimately CTSI exists to break the cycle of drug use and criminal
activity common to ex-offenders; transition ex-offenders back into our
community as good, productive citizens; strengthen the ties between
ex-offenders, their families and community; and increase public safety
through the reduction of relapse and recidivism.
CTSI offers intervention and re-entry services by providing
comprehensive "best practices" programming and acts
as a conduit to community resources that facilitate positive outcomes.
BELIEF:
CTSI believes people can and will change when afforded meaningful
opportunities that promote lifelong behavioral changes.
SOLUTION:
CTSI takes a solution based approach to working with clients to break
the cycle of addiction and
recidivism and increase public safety. CTSI programs incorporates evidence
based "best practices" and community involvement.
EXPERIENCE:
CTSI has extensive experience in applying evidence based correctional
practices
and is governed by a committed group of concerned citizens who comprise
its board of directors with
experience in non profit management, education, business, and community
action groups.
Correctional Transition Services provides re-entry training to
ex-offenders making the transition back to everyday life. Focusing
on life skills, chemical dependency treatment, and general behavioral
counseling, CTSI helps ex-offenders prepare themselves for re-entry back
into society. CTSI Counselors provide hands-on treatment of chemical
dependency, lifeskills, and general transition issues for ex-offenders
facing re-entry.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what
makes life meaningful.
