Background:
Alpha Human Services, under their new name Alpha Emergence Behavioral Health (AEBH) provides treatment and program services for adult male and female clients convicted of a sex offense who are sentenced by the Fourth Judicial District Court (District Court). Services include client assessment, individual and group counseling, intensive individual therapy, and supervision.
Residential treatment services are being discontinued. Clients formerly placed in the residential program will receive intensive outpatient program treatment (IOP) five days a week along with case management services that address chemical and mental health needs. Program goals are to improve skills such as distress tolerance, communication and emotional regulation. Clients in IOP that require a structured and supervised living environment are placed with partner agencies that provide 24-hour housing in a structured and supervised living environment.
