RECOVERY IN A SECURE ENVIRONMENT - RISE
|
MISSION: Helping individuals incarcerated in the Denver Sheriff Department build a foundation of recovery through substance abuse treatment, trauma education, care management, and evidenced based peer support groups.
VISION: This program recognizes the struggles faced by our participants often leads to increased criminal activity and by addressing these issues our hope is to improve overall community safety. |
The RISE program located in the Denver County Jail, is offered for both men and women. One of the goals of this program is to reduce recidivism among DUI and drug offenders. The RISE program is based around a peer facilitation model. There are groups held throughout the day led by the participants in combination with chosen curriculum, in addition to select curriculum facilitated by trained staff. The RISE program operates Monday through Saturday from 7am to 4pm. The RISE program itself is intensive and our participants are held to a higher standard of both conduct and growth potential.
STILL THEY RISE
The Still They RISE program is an extension of the jail-based RISE program that offers supportive services and assistance to participants who are either currently active in the RISE program or have successfully completed it.
Prior to the participant's release from Denver County Jail, Still They RISE staff meets with them to create an individualized plan that ensures a smooth re-entry process. Upon their release, the RISE participants are connected to resources for treatment, employment, education, and housing.

The DoorMorning Noon & Night
Our lives at the Door We get fed through the Door We get meds through the Door we get yelled at through the Door On a good day, We get the remote through the Door OMG, you should see the size of key for the Door There's men on board! You must be dressed to go to the Door Don't you dare stand at the Door Don't talk through the Door Any chance they could clean the Door When the day finally comes We leave through the Door... - written by the women in RISE |
