There is a Brighter Road Ahead for At-Risk Youth
when they receive intensive, multifaceted treatment that gets to the root cause of their behaviors
Cove Prep Treatment Facility for Adolescent Sexual Offenders
Our Philosophy
Cove PREP’s treatment philosophy is based on the belief that sexual offending results from a combination of biological, social, psychological, and experiential factors. Sexual offenders are not all the same. Therefore, comprehensive assessment is required to develop an understanding of the causes, contributing factors, and what maintains each youth’s pattern of sexually abusive behaviors. Successful treatment can be received once a youth has received an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment Modalities
At Cove PREP, we provide services for each resident through a variety of treatment modalities:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Process-oriented (psychodynamic) treatment
- Psychoeducational treatment
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Psychiatric care
- Medication management
Cove PREP does not utilize any aversive conditioning techniques. Polygraph testing is available for use on a case-by-case basis.
How Progress is Measured
Follow-up on residents who have successfully discharged currently occurs through contact with probation officers and through phone or mail contact with former residents. To date, of more than 55 successfully discharged residents, we have identified only three youth (less than 5%) who have been arrested for a subsequent sexual offense.
