In this model, it is important for the client to admit that he or she is a criminal. We believe the criminal must also accept the fact that he or she is a criminal in order for recovery to begin. The Consortium Center provides treatment to non-incarcerated drug abusing criminal offenders living in Klamath County. Clients have 5 or more arrests and come to treatment daily at our Day Treatment Facility. The program consists of 4 stages with each stage having a number of assignments and requirements that must be fulfilled before promotion to the next stage.
Treatment is client driven, therefore the time spent in each level varies from client to client.
However the amount of treatment provided is the same for each level. In December of 1996, the Consortium opened a 30 bed treatment program in C-Pod of the Klamath County Jail. The program was funded in part by the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant. The remainder of funding was provided by the Klamath County Department of Corrections. Consequently, the program was closed on September 30, 2000.
