Incentive

Both TEAM programs will have an incentive component. As a reward for having positive behaviors by following expectations, youth can earn one day off of their stay by receiving five consecutive positive (plus) days.

Problem Areas

T.E.A.M youth will have Nine specific problem areas in which they will be expected to learn and understand the underlying meaning of each area. Each youth will have 2-5 specific areas outlined in their Case Service Plan to address individual areas of concern. A treatment goal will be written so that the youth understands how to achieve each specific goal.

The Nine Areas are as follow:

1. Easily Angered

2. Authority

3. Lying

4. Drugs and Alcohol

5. Misleads Others

6. Easily Misled

7. Aggravates Others

30-60 Day

 

This program would primarily target first time offenders, as well as those youth with a short history of delinquency. Throughout the youths stay, there will be at least 3 written summaries. These will include: Case Service Plan, Progress Report, and Discharge Summary. This program will be highly structured and intense. The youth will participate in school, complete community service hours, as well as participate in group meetings, anger management classes, a live skills course, and Chemical Dependency classes. The youth will learn to follow rules, norms and expectations of society. Learning respect for each other is a big factor to the program.

 

60-90 Day

This program is designed to target previous offenders who have continued in the wrong direction. These youth will also have written documentation to outline their progress throughout the program. This program is based on the same criteria as the 30-45 Day program, but gives youth additional time to work on their areas of concern and reach their goals successfully.
