Community Corrections Research-Based ming Oriana House s community corrections programs are changing offender behavior using practices that incorporate the most recent, comprehensive research available. Caseworkers help clients develop an individualized program plan and staff build rapport to help offenders make positive changes. A combination of teaching techniques includes modeling appropriate behavior; reinforcing desired actions and deterring unwanted actions; and role playing problem-solving and relationship-building skills. All Oriana House clients are subject to regular and random drug and alcohol testing. Offenders also are responsible for financial obligations such as child support, fines, and restitution. The level and scope of programming for each client is determined using a statewide, standardized assessment system. Identified needs such as addiction treatment, employment, coping skills, parenting classes, and more are then addressed. By targeting dysfunctional thought patterns, Oriana House s programming helps offenders change the way they act by changing the way they think.
