MORAL RECONATION THERAPY (MRT)

 

"How to Escape Your Prison". This 152-page workbook for offenders is based on principles within MRT, and addresses all of the issues related to criminal thinking and criminal needs. Clients progress through the workbook as they progress through group sessions.

 

Our MRT-based substance abuse program includes 16 steps, with 12 of these typically completed in 30 group sessions held in accordance with the implementation site’s own needs and characteristics. For example, therapeutic communities often hold several groups each week while drug courts and probation sites typically hold a weekly group. Clients complete homework from the workbook for each group prior to coming to a session. In the group, each client presents his or her homework and the facilitator passes the client to the next step or has the client redo the homework based on objective criteria. All substance abuse groups are open-ended, meaning that new clients can enter an ongoing group at any time. Each group session will usually have new clients as well as some finishing the program.

MRT™ is an NREPP program included on the SAMHSA National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. MRT® is an objective, step-by-step treatment system that is highly respected in the corrections field. The program is designed to address all of the issues related to criminal thinking and criminal needs.
