BRJD Post Dispositional Program

 

BRJD's Post-Disposition Program is an individualized treatment/educational program that is structured for residents who have not been successful in community-based programs or other types of residential programs.  The Post-Disposition Program has an educational component that develops knowledge, life-skills, career options and vocational abilities leading the resident to a more disciplined lifestyle.  The program is also dovetailed with treatment services available both in the community and within the facility.  The motivational enhancements and intervention efforts facilitate re-entry of the youth into the community.

The program is a dispositional alternative for certain juvenile offenders who may benefit from local short-term confinement and treatment while in a controlled setting.  Whenever possible, the youth will receive services within his/her community. 

This program targets youth that appear to be amenable to treatment and to improving their behavior and lifestyles.  They may earn privileges to work, participate in community service and volunteer assignments and leave the facility for educational activities and home visits.  These services and privileges are intended to increase family and community involvement, thus increasing the youth’s chances for a successful transition back into he community.
