The Summit County Community Based Correctional Facility located at 264 E Crossier St Akron, OH, focuses on successful offender reintegration into society, crucial for effective crime control. With high recidivism rates, evidence-based practices tailor programs for medium to high-risk individuals, reducing repeat offenses. Reentry and Treatment Centers offer structured environments and various programs aiding rehabilitation and community reconnection efforts. Collaborating with the Summit Sheriff's Department, the Ohio Department of Corrections, and sometimes the US Marshal Service/Federal Bureau of Prisons, comprehensive reentry services prioritize education, substance abuse treatment, and workforce development. Facilities assist officers in monitoring compliance and serve as alternatives to pretrial detention, considering cost-effectiveness and reducing overcrowding. Emphasizing individual needs, family support, and community integration, the center aims for holistic support, empowering successful reintegration.

Family Programming - Conjoint Sessions and Family Matters bring the client’s family into the recovery process. Conjoint sessions are held in IOP and Aftercare; the client brings his/her positive support person or family member with him/her during this conjoint session.

Social skills are taught to the family members and role plays are conducted to reinforce the skill building for every session.
Cognitive Behavior Change - Includes cognitive restructuring, social skills development, and development of problem solving skills.
