DCCCA believes that by applying research-based practices, we can make a difference for our clients and help to reduce the associated costs of crime within the community. Critical to our program success are the partnerships we have formed with federal, state, and local correctional institutions as we work within their jurisdictions to provide offender programs. The following represents a current description of program activities as DCCCA reaches out to offender populations and works to make a difference. Adult Sex Offender TreatmentDCCCA began providing sex offender treatment in 1991. Since that time, services have expanded to include both institutional and community based treatment contact us. Sex offender treatment services provided by DCCCA are conducted in group settings utilizing cognitive-behavioral interventions. Also included in treatment is the use of polygraph and plethysmograph services to verify clinical information provided by the client. The program has no specified length, but rather uses state of the art psychometric instruments to determine the static and dynamic risk levels of each client. Clients are then placed in one of three levels of treatment based on these scores.
