As a residential community corrections program, Alpha has been in existence since 1973. Since that time, Alpha has provided parole, supervised release, and probation services to Hennepin County, Ramsey County, the State of Minnesota, and other counties and states desiring to make program placements.
Alpha also provides a variety of outpatient offender, victim, and family services.
Alpha Human Services is a private non-profit corporation licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections and is the only program approved by the Commissioner of Corrections for repeat sex offender placements which are subject to Minnesota Statute 609.346, subdivisions 2 and 3. Client referrals should be directed to the Intake Department. One of the characteristics distinguishing Alpha from all other Minnesota community- based treatment facilities is that Alpha specializes in providing treatment for all categories of sexually deviant offenders. The adult residential program is highly structured and provides twenty-four hour staff coverage. Adult males convicted of a felony and demonstrating sexually deviant behavior are eligible for admission.
