By addressing the unique reentry needs of each individual, treatment promotes accountability, responsibility, and self-reliance. Programming includes carefully selected therapeutic services and targeted interventions such as individual self-help groups and group counseling. ATEF provides services seven days a week offering structure and flexibility to meet participant risks and needs and agency goals.
