CREATE, Inc. has a functioning Offender Re-Entry Program which builds on our cognitive behavioral Intensive Medically Supervised Outpatient Program that serves adults (men and women) returning from prisons. Our program systemizes pre-release planning and infuses its services with new evidence-based approaches: Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Seeking Safety, Wellness Self Management, Family Therapy, and SPECTRM to meet both the common and the specialized needs of returning offenders. The multi-disciplinary team of CREATE in the treatment of returning offenders includes: their family, community connections, as well as clinicians, parole and partner agency staff. The program integrates Motivational Enhancement Therapy into all interactions to engage the clients by identifying personal goals for their retention into the community and treatment. Clinical and support staff are trained on SPECTRM, a cognitive behavioral approach that helps returning inmates and staff understand the impact on treatment of behaviors that may have been necessary for survival in prison.
