Community Education Centers, Inc. (CEC) is the largest provider of offender in-prison treatment services in America. CEC provides in-prison treatment services for over 10,000 offenders each day. Substance abuse therapies, anger management and related mental health treatment, job readiness and vocational development, site-specific release preparation and relapse prevention, life skills training, and diagnostic and risk assessment are all part of CEC’s integrated in-prison treatment approach to readying the offender for a socially productive life outside the walls.

Under contract with the Delaware Department of Correction, CEC administers the State's network of drug rehabilitation programs for incarcerated addicts. The nationally acclaimed "KEY" Therapeutic Community has served as a treatment model for other states for over 15 years and is complemented by the "CREST" initiative - the nation's first therapeutic work-release center - which CEC also manages. In total, CEC delivers addiction treatment at seven institutions and community work release centers, to a total of more than 1800 offenders each year.

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.
