The Community Transition Program allows participants to serve their time at the Community Transition Center (CTC) to prepare for their reentry back into the community. They may leave the CTC for approved employment purposes, attend employment search activities, attend medical or mental health treatment, and other approved activities. Every participant will be offered intensive case planning with an assigned reentry specialist. Participants may attend Active Behavioral Change (ABC), Substance Abuse, and Workforce Readiness programs offered at the center.
