Treatment

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

MRT is structured cognitive-behavioral programming that builds decision-making and reasoning skills — most often for people navigating the criminal justice system, family court, probation, or a DA referral pathway. It is not a lecture series and not a punishment. It is a step-by-step program for changing how decisions get made, built for people whose next decisions matter more than their last ones.

MRT at a glance

What it is

An evidence-based cognitive-behavioral program, delivered in structured sessions with step-by-step materials, focused on decision-making, reasoning, and personal accountability.

Who it’s for

People in criminal justice, family court, probation, or DA referral pathways — including requirements under hold-open and alternative agreements.

How people enroll

Most participants arrive through a court, DA, or probation referral. Bring your paperwork or submit a referral, and staff confirm what applies.

Details confirmed at intake

Format, schedule, materials, completion requirements, and any costs are confirmed directly with staff when you enroll.

How MRT works

Structured, step-by-step

MRT moves through defined steps using program materials — each session builds on the last, and progress is earned by completing the work, not by waiting out the clock.

Participation is the program

Attendance and genuine participation are what move you forward. The structure exists so that finishing means something.

Completion that counts

When the program is part of a court, DA, or probation requirement, staff explain at intake how completion is documented and reported — so you know exactly what finishing closes out.

Required to be here? Make it count.

Plenty of people start MRT because a court said so. What they finish with is theirs: a different way of weighing decisions, sturdier reasoning under pressure, and a track record of completing something hard. The requirement may be someone else’s — the skills are yours to keep.
