The Summit County Oriana House is overseen by the Summit Sheriff's Department and consists of six community-based programs that supervise both pre-sentenced and post-sentenced offenders, prioritizing public safety and cost-effective alternatives to incarceration. Working in collaboration with the County's Work Release Center, located at 885 E Buchtel Ave Akron, OH, and other criminal justice agencies, the division oversees thousands of offenders in the community.

A Community Corrections Facility is a structured, supportive environment designed for low-risk offenders and those nearing the end of their sentences, with a primary goal of rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society. Unlike traditional high-security prisons, these facilities offer programs that focus on personal development, employment skills, and behavioral health, addressing the needs of individuals through targeted support. Common offerings include substance abuse treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, anger management, and vocational training, equipping residents with tools to overcome personal challenges and establish constructive habits.

Many Community Corrections facilities also feature work release programs, allowing individuals to work outside during the day and return in the evening, fostering a sense of responsibility and aiding the transition back into the community. Security is maintained through a combination of supervision and strict adherence to facility rules, ensuring a safe and structured environment. By promoting accountability and providing practical resources, Community Corrections facilities play a vital role in reducing recidivism, supporting public safety, and empowering residents to make positive, lasting changes in their lives.

The County Jail's satellite minimum-security facility also known as a Community Corrections Facility/Work Release center, is operated in conjunction with Oriana House, Inc. Thirteen (13) deputies and two (2) supervisors staff the 150-bed facility, which provides treatment for DUI offenders and overflow housing of non-violent Summit County Jail inmates.

Community corrections programs provide critical alternatives to traditional incarceration by offering pretrial services and sentencing options that focus on accountability and rehabilitation within the community. These programs aim to reduce recidivism and support offenders in building constructive connections and resources. Oriana House is a notable provider of such programs across Ohio, delivering both residential and non-residential services that adhere to evidence-based practices to modify offender behavior.

Oriana House's community corrections initiatives are designed to address a spectrum of offender needs through individualized program plans developed by caseworkers. These plans are tailored to each client’s specific circumstances, encompassing various rehabilitative services and educational opportunities. Staff members employ a range of instructional methods including modeling appropriate behavior, reinforcing positive actions, deterring undesirable actions, and using role-playing to enhance problem-solving and relationship-building skills.

The programs encompass a comprehensive suite of services aimed at addressing key needs such as substance use disorder treatment, education, employment training, coping strategies, parenting classes, and anger management. Clients participate in structured educational and employment programs, such as "Thinking for a Change," which integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to foster better decision-making and behavioral outcomes.

In addition to these educational and rehabilitative programs, Oriana House incorporates peer recovery support to provide ongoing assistance and encouragement from individuals with lived experience. The Family Matters program extends support and information to families affected by addiction, promoting a holistic approach to recovery that includes the client's support network.

To ensure compliance and accountability, all clients undergo regular drug and alcohol testing. Financial responsibilities such as child support, fines, and restitution are also integral to the program, reinforcing personal responsibility and adherence to legal obligations.

Clients are typically referred to Oriana House's community corrections programs by various entities including municipal and common pleas courts, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, probation offices, and the Adult Parole Authority. Each referral is assessed to determine eligibility and appropriate placement within the available programs.

The facilities supporting these programs include classrooms and dedicated spaces for various forms of programming, managed by residential staff who ensure the effective delivery of services and support to clients. The facilities are equipped to handle a wide range of rehabilitative activities and are staffed by professionals trained to build rapport and foster positive change among participants.
