| CEC's in-prison treatment programs aim to use the therapeutic community as our theoretical framework. Within this context offenders learn to live within a community and are held accountable by their peers in addition to receiving substance abuse, life skills, and educational services designed to prepare them for reentry.

Within the last two years, CEC has significantly expanded its presence in Illinois and in Pennsylvania, operating more in-prison addiction treatment programs than any other vendor in each of these respective states. Other new prison treatment sites have been initiated in Oregon and Wyoming - joining Florida, California and South Carolina as states where CEC provides multi-site programming for incarcerated substance abusers. |
