This month's Spotlight Company is ADAPPT, Inc.

ADAPPT, Inc. is a division of CiviGenics, a correctional services firm with expertise in secure custody operations and is the foremost provider of offender programming to reduce criminal recidivism in the United States. CiviGenics core conviction is that for corrections to be truly cost effective, it must do more than isolate offenders from society.  Sooner or later almost all of those currently incarcerated will return to society and  – without new skills and new attitudes – they will pose a very real threat for criminal activity once again.  For this reason, CiviGenics’ employees are trained to both protect the public and rehabilitate offenders.

ADAPPT, Inc. is a for-profit division of CiviGenics that is affiliated with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole. ADAPPT administers chemical dependency and treatment programs for men and women who are under sentence and who have been classified to minimum release custody. A cluster of residential buildings in downtown Reading function as a large scale Therapeutic Community (TC). The TC has 46 beds, and is licensed as an inpatient non-hospital drug and alcohol unit, that includes a Group Home facility, with the capacity to house 107 clients.  The chemical dependency program involves both group and individual therapy that is reality based, concentrating on preparing each client to cope drug and alcohol free upon reentry to independent living. Group Home residency is designed to assist clients in acquiring basic living skills to cope in an ever-changing society.

Counselors with ADAPPT have a maximum caseload of eight clients, and a staff-client ratio of 1:2 that has resulted in an effective intensive intervention program.

ADAPPT is fully accredited by the American Correctional Association.
