The Mendocino County Probation Department and GEO Reentry Services are hosting an open house this week in Ukiah, county officials reported.
In a press release, officials announced that on Wednesday, Dec. 18, from noon to 2 p.m. at 579 Low Gap Road, “guests can learn about the reentry programs being offered and tour the facility. Probation and center staff, community partners, current program participants and program alumni will be on-hand.”
The release describes the Mendocino County DRC as “serving individuals on probation and provides a structured combination of evidence-based programs, skill building, case management and community connections to help connect participants with resources and obtain essential needs. The program combines daily reporting with groups and treatment that focuses on sobriety and employment or full-time school enrollment when participants exit the program.”
At the center, the release continues, “participants attend several groups, including substance abuse treatment; life skills development; cognitive behavioral treatment; parenting and family resources; emotional regulation and coping skills; employment skills building and career development counseling; and aftercare. Individuals move through phases at the center based on behavioral milestones.”
Officials also note in the release that “Mendocino County opened the DRC in 2012 to focus on reducing the likelihood of reoffending, a long-term benefit to the community in reduced correctional costs and improving public safety. Since opening, the Mendocino County DRC participants have recidivated at a lower rate compared to a much higher rate statewide.
