restorative justice
what is restorative justice?
Restorative justice is a framework that acknowledges the complex intersection of psychological, psychiatric, and substance abuse issues with legal, moral, and ethical considerations. It seeks to address the broader context of harmful actions, focusing on accountability, understanding, and repair. This approach recognizes that addiction and mental health challenges often play a significant role in decision-making and behavior, requiring a compassionate yet honest process of healing and growth.
At Recover Integrity, we integrate restorative justice principles into treatment by advocating for clients in legal situations while supporting their journey toward remorse, transformation, and accountability. We collaborate with clinicians, families, and legal teams to help clients understand the impact of their actions, work toward repairing harm, and restore trust within their relationships and communities. By fostering this process of restoration, we aim to create the best possible outcomes for all parties involved, emphasizing healing, accountability, and personal growth.
THE PROCESS HAS FIVE BASIC STEPS:
Starting with a simple phone call, we assess if the individual is a good candidate for alternative sentencing. Background on the client, the crime, and the attorney situation are all taken into account in making this decision.
Our Case Managers coordinate appointments with external service providers, ensuring clients receive necessary medical, dental, and specialist care. They also assist with navigating bureaucratic processes such as FMLA paperwork and managing legal obligations like probation. Within the context of Recover Integrity, Case Managers play a crucial role in ensuring that every aspect of a client’s case is handled with precision and care.
A written sentencing report is compiled for the court, recommending the proper level of care for the client’s case.
Direct involvement with the court and/or the client’s attorney, to achieve a positive outcome for a treatment sentence, instead of incarceration.
Post-sentencing progress reports as requested by the court and/or probation officer.
