Second Chance Program
At Compass Center for Wellness, we know that a second chance can change a life. Our Second Chance Program is designed to provide structured, compassionate care for those connected with the criminal justice system who face complex and often intertwined challenges. Our goal is to help clients overcome barriers to stability and recovery, offering practical support and proven therapeutic approaches. Serving Corona, CA, and surrounding areas, this program is designed to help clients safely reintegrate into their communities while achieving lasting personal growth.
Who Does Our California Reentry Program Help?
Clients in our California reentry program often experience overlapping challenges that complicate their ability to rebuild their lives independently. We understand that sustainable recovery requires addressing each aspect of these complex needs, which can include:
- Upholding Parole or Probation Requirements: Many clients face strict conditions under parole or probation that can be difficult to uphold without support. Our team provides guidance to help clients meet these requirements, supporting them in maintaining compliance while they focus on building a healthier future.
- Breaking Patterns of Substance Use: Substance use can become deeply ingrained, impacting every facet of life. Through evidence-based therapies and peer support, our program helps clients identify and address the underlying factors driving their substance use, developing healthier coping strategies for lasting sobriety.
- Supporting Physical and Mental Health: Untreated mental or physical health conditions often hinder recovery and reentry. We offer a continuum of care that includes therapy, medication management, and wellness activities tailored to each client’s unique health needs.
- Stabilizing Housing: Many clients experience housing instability or homelessness, making it challenging to focus on recovery. We work with local agencies and resources to help clients secure safe, reliable housing, offering a foundation for stability.
- Reducing Reincarceration Cycles: The “revolving door” effect is common for those involved with the justice system, where cycles of arrest and release become a repeating pattern. By addressing root causes and equipping clients with the skills needed for independence, we help clients create new, sustainable pathways.
Outpatient Care That Supports Daily Life
Our Second Chance Program emphasizes outpatient care that is flexible and designed for clients who need intensive support without disrupting their daily responsibilities. This allows clients to immediately apply what they learn in real-world settings, creating a smoother transition and promoting sustainable change. Our primary outpatient programs include:
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Our IOP offers the structured care clients need while allowing them to maintain independence and balance responsibilities. With a combination of individual therapy, group sessions, and skills-building activities, the IOP equips clients with practical tools and peer support.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): For those requiring a higher level of care, our PHP provides daily therapeutic and medical support in a structured environment. Clients receive focused, intensive care during the day and return home in the evening, allowing them to build a stable support system within their own environments.
Case Management Services
One of the key pillars of the Second Chance Program is the support provided through our case management services. Our case managers work closely with clients to build a foundation for stability, addressing critical areas such as employment, social skills, and access to necessary resources.
- Personalized Case Management: Our dedicated case managers who collaborate with clients to guide them through complex systems and access essential resources. Through one-on-one guidance, clients receive the support needed to work through personal challenges and focus on their long-term goals.
- Job Readiness and Vocational Training: Employment plays a crucial role in recovery and reentry. Our team helps clients prepare for meaningful employment through support finding and applying to jobs. Clients may also connect with vocational programs that provide hands-on training aligned with their career interests, promoting self-sufficiency and confidence.
- Family and Social Reintegration: Building a strong support network is essential for sustained recovery. Our program offers resources to help clients rebuild family connections, engage in group activities, and improve social skills, building healthy relationships and community ties that reinforce their path forward.
Reentry Program Evidence-Based Therapies
Compass Center for Wellness prioritizes clinically proven, evidence-based therapies. Our reentry program therapeutic approaches, including individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing, are designed to provide clients with practical strategies for managing their mental health and making positive decisions.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT empowers clients to recognize and modify harmful thought patterns and behaviors, equipping them with the tools to handle stress and overcome challenges effectively.
- Motivational Interviewing: By exploring clients’ intrinsic motivations, motivational interviewing helps clients build the inner drive to embrace recovery and make meaningful changes in their lives.
- Group Therapy and Peer Support: Group sessions and peer support play an invaluable role in recovery, allowing clients to share experiences, learn from each other, and develop a sense of community, creating mutual support throughout the recovery process.
