Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) was developed to treat substance-abusing offenders from a cognitive behavioral perspective.  It is a cognitive behavioral system designed to enhance positive behavioral growth in a progressive, step-by-step fashion.  MRT seeks to change how individuals with a substance use disorder make decision and judgments by developing moral reasoning in individuals. Participants will be required to attend MRT Groups once a week until completion.  The MRT group cycle lasts for a minimum of 12 sessions, but a client's length of participation is based on their compliance and level of engagement.
