THE PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS EVERYONE
Addiction and Crime does not discriminate, it accepts and destroys, races, genders, finances, children, seniors, people with disabilities, jobs, relationships, your health, your thinking, your goals, it does not care how you look, Addiction will tell you not to brush your teeth, take a bath, feed yourself and if the money runs out...guess what addiction will have you abusing and starving your children and it really does not even matter what religion you are, it will destroy anything in our lives that does not support the criminality of you abusing drugs and alcohol!!! We need to address this negative behavior and take back control of our lives, be better parents, family members and a better friend to yourself and others. Come and join us so we can explore these challenges togetherI am speaking my truth!!!
We can recover and make healthier decisions for ourselves our family and community...

CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS There are seven dynamic domains:
• Employment & Education – This domain looks at the value placed on work and the role of work in the offender’s life; it includes education and vocational skills.
• Marital & Family Relations – This domain looks at the value place in being with family members and the support an offender derives from them.
• Association and Social Interaction – This domain looks at the value placed on non-criminal associates and the opportunity for very positive interaction, especially with pro-active and goal-oriented individuals and issues.
• Substance Abuse – This domain looks at the value placed on living without the reliance on alcohol and/or drugs.
• Community Functioning – This domain looks at the value placed on having the knowledge and necessary skills for daily living. It includes acceptable residence, health, personal budgeting, leisure activities, and the use of social services.
• Personal & Emotional Orientation – This domain looks at the value placed on being in control of one’s life. It includes decision-making, coping with stress, and mental health.
• Attitude – This domain looks at the value placed on living in law-abiding ways
TRANSFORMATIONAL NEEDS DOMAINSTHERE ARE FIVE DYNAMIC DOMAINS:
• Faith – This transformational domain looks at the value placed on looking beyond circumstances and challenges at the moment.
• Forgiveness – This domain looks at the value placed on acknowledging and letting go of resentments and historic pain by untying oneself from these experiences.
• Love – This domain looks at the value placed on caring for oneself and others unconditionally.
• Peace – This domain looks at the value placed on being connected to one’s past, present, and future.
• Trust – This dynamic domain looks at the value placed on inner strength.
