Criminal Justice & Reentry

Our clinical treatment programs help ex-offenders become productive members of the community.

Maud Booth, co-founder of Volunteers of America, was a national leader and pioneer in the prison reform movement. She opened and operated the first halfway houses in the country in the late 1800s. We continue to see the importance of these programs for the formerly incarcerated and the community and provide evidence-based residential treatment programs for ex-offenders.

Our programs serve formerly incarcerated individuals, some of whom are eligible for early release from prison due to judicial release, and/or have substance abuse issues in the Cincinnati, Dayton, Evansville, Indianapolis, Mansfield and Toledo areas. Case managers and residents create an individualized program plan to address their specific needs. Client progress is routinely assessed to ensure a positive outcome by the end of the program.

Programs are audited annually by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC). Every two years, our programs in Ohio are certified by the Ohio Department of mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) and our programs in Indiana are certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). And, every three years, our programs are audited by the America Correctional Association (ACA).
