What is Therapeutic Community Modality?
 Therapeutic Community Modality is a self-help social learning treatment model used for
clients with problems of drug abuse and other behavioral problems such as alcoholism,
stealing, and other anti-social tendencies.
 As a treatment model, it includes four (4) categories, namely, behavioral aspect,

intellectual aspect, vocational aspects and emotional aspects.
 The Therapeutic Community Modality provides a well-defined structure for a

synchronized and focused implementation of the various intervention strategies or
activities undertaken by the Agency.
Treatment Programs of the Different Confinement Facilities
1. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP COUNSELING

 This activity intends to assist the clients in trying to sort out their problems, identify
solutions, reconcile conflicts and help resolve them. This could be done either by
individual or group interaction with the officers of the Agency.
2. MORAL, SPIRITUAL, VALUES FORMATION
 Seminars, lectures or trainings offered or arranged by the Agency comprise these
rehabilitation activities. Active NGOs, schools, civic and religious organizations are
tapped to facilitate the activities.
3. WORK OR JOB PLACEMENT/REFERRAL
 Categorized as an informal program wherein a client is referred for work or job
placement through the officer’s own personal effort, contact or information.
4. VOCATIONAL/LIVELIHOOD AND SKILLS TRAINING
 The program includes the setting up of seminars and skills training classes like food
preservation and processing, candle making, novelty items and handicrafts making,
etc., to help the clients earn extra income. Likewise, vocational and technical trade
classes are availed of such as refrigeration, automotive mechanic, radio/television and
electronics repairs, tailoring, dressmaking, basic computer training, etc. through
coordination with local barangays, parish centers, schools and civic organizations.
5. HEALTH, MENTAL AND MEDICAL SERVICES
 To address some of the basic needs of clients and their families, medical missions are
organized to provide various forms of medical and health services including physical
examination and treatment, free medicines and vitamins, dental examination and
treatment, drug dependency test and laboratory examination. Psychological testing
and evaluation as well as psychiatric treatment are likewise provided for by the
Agency’s Clinical Services Division and if not possible by reason of distance,
referrals are made to other government accredited institutions.
6. LITERACY AND EDUCATION
 In coordination with LGU programs, adult education classes are availed of to help
clients learn basic writing, reading and arithmetic. Likewise, literacy teach-ins during
any sessions conducted for clients become part of the module. This is particularly
intended for clients who are “no read, no write” to help them become functionally
literate. Likewise, linkages with educational Foundation, other GOs and NGOs are
regularly done for free school supplies, bags and uniform for client’s children and
relatives.
7. COMMUNITY SERVICE
 This program refers to the services in the community rendered by clients for the
benefit of society. It includes tree planting, beautification drives, cleaning and
greening of surroundings, maintenance of public parks and places, garbage collection,
blood donation and similar socio-civic activities.
8. CLIENT SELF-HELP ORGANIZATION
 This program takes the form of cooperatives and client associations wherein the
clients form cooperatives and associations as an economic group to venture on small-
scale projects. Similarly, client associations serve another purpose by providing some
structure to the lives of clients where they re-learn the basics of working within a
group with hierarchy, authority and responsibility much like in the bigger society.
9. PAYMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITY
 The payment of civil liability or indemnification to victims of offenders are pursued
despite the economic status of clients. Payment of obligations to the victims instills in
the minds of the clients their responsibility and the consequences of the harm they
inflicted to others.
10. ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY
 To instill awareness and concern in preserving ecological balance and environmental
health, seminars/lectures are conducted wherein clients participate. These
seminars/lectures tackle anti-smoke belching campaign, organic farming, waste
management, segregation and disposal and proper care of the environment.
11. SPORTS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS
 Activities that provide physical exertion like sports, games and group play are
conducted to enhance the physical well-being of clients. Friendly competition of
clients from the various offices of the sectors, together with the officers, provide an
enjoyable and healthful respite.
CONCLUSION
 The success of the Therapeutic Community treatment model is also anchored on the
implementation of restorative justice. To highlight the principles of restorative justice,
offenders are recognized to indemnify victims and render community services to
facilitate the healing of the broken relationship caused by offending the concerned
parties. Mediation and conferencing are also utilized in special cases to mend and/or
restore clients’ relationship with their victim and the community.
