Resident Programs

The CBCF utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) curricula for its core programming. The CBCF also offers GED services and other activities that assist the residents in their preparation for successful community reentry. Residents are referred to outside community agencies for additional treatment needs at the appropriate time in their program.

Residents are enrolled in one or more of the following CBT programs offered at the CBCF:

Designed to provide a thorough intervention that broadly targets all criminogenic needs. This intervention relies on a cognitive behavioral approach to teach strategies to manage risk factors. The program places heavy emphasis on skill-building activities to assist with cognitive, social, emotional, and coping skill development.

This intervention relies on a cognitive behavioral approach to teach strategies for avoiding substance abuse. The program emphasizes skill-building activities to assist with cognitive, social, emotional, and coping skill development.

This structured curriculum relies on a cognitive-behavioral approach to teach participants strategies for avoiding sexual offending and related behaviors. Specifically, the program emphasizes skill-building activities to assist with cognitive, social, emotional, and coping skills development. The goal is to increase participants' value of pro-social thoughts and choices.

To successfully use new skills in everyday life, individuals in group interventions need to practice them in a variety of situations with increasing difficulty. This curriculum provides a structured way to assist high-risk residents in practicing skills learned through core programming in a progressively more challenging way using more difficult situations with increased pressure. Group members continue to practice cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, social skills, and problem-solving throughout their participation in the group.

High and very high-risk residents participate in this course that draws on the latest research on criminal thinking and addresses the issue of criminal behavior with a cognitive-behavioral approach. Succinct and astonishingly relevant, the Greek philosopher’s words show how to live a responsible life - inside or outside prison. With the help of Epictetus’ ancient wisdom, residents meet the daily challenges of their lives. Learning to think outside the limits of their own literal walls as they struggle to redeem themselves, residents learn to think beyond their own self-imposed limitations and comfort zones.

A cognitive behavioral intervention program to help residents improve social skill competence and moral reasoning, better manage anger, reduce aggressive behavior, and ultimately reduce recidivism. Program techniques are designed to teach residents how to control their angry impulses and take perspectives other than their own.

The following services are also offered at the CBCF:

  • Academic Education/GED Services:
    Residents that do not have their high school diploma or GED are placed in classes appropriate to their scores on the TABE Test. They remain in these classes, working toward their GED, until they are successful in obtaining their GED or complete the CBCF Program.
  • Community Service:
    Residents participate at a limited number of community service project sites in the local community. This experience works to establish pro-social contacts within the community, elevate the degree of community confidence in the rehabilitation process, and enhance the basic work skills and work ethic of the resident. It also allows the resident to experience the benefits of “giving back”.
  • Volunteer Services:
    The CBCF has volunteers that offer residents the opportunity to participate in religious services. Approved volunteers also lead various 12-Step meetings and facilitate other activities at the facility.
  • Family Activities:
    To encourage strong support systems, special family activities are planned allowing residents the opportunity to visit with their family, if approved by their treatment team. Video visitation is also available.
