This is a program designed to help raise the level of moral reasoning. All clients who attend D7 Treatment have been screened using either the LSI or Y-LSI and the scores on that put them at a medium to high risk of committing another crime without some sort of intervention. MRT helps clients focus on finding happiness in life by committing to right goals. This is accomplished through attending a 1.5-2 hour group a week (length of group depends on size) and working through 12 steps to climb the freedom ladder. There will be a workbook provided and clients will be expected to work on the steps outside of group time and come prepared to present in the group.
