Independence House (IH) operates three residential community correction centers and three out-patient treatment centers. The Independence House administration and staff continue to provide quality service to the corrections population in the Denver Metro area. In 2007, Independence House was responsible for supervising approximately 1850 clients in Residential and Non-Residential/Out-Patient who are required to abide by standards set forth by the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ), the Alcohol and Drug dministration of Denver (ADAD), the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the Department of Corrections (DOC), Adult and Juvenile County and Judicial Probation, and Denver Adult Community Corrections.

Some of the specialized services we provide include the Vocational Heavy Construction Program (VHCT), Mentally Ill Chemical Abusers (MICA), Sex Offender (SO), and Therapeutic Community (TC). The VHCT program continues to thrive with great success at IH Pecos. The Sex Offender Program, however few were housed at Independence House in 2007, was held to the strict standards provided the specialized and managed care that is needed to maintain public safety. Independence House Fillmore and Independence House began participating in the MICA study, a national study to determine the needs and success of mentally ill offenders.

The modified Therapeutic Community at IH Fillmore has maintained a very high success rate for those mentally ill offenders who require the specialized services that we offer through case management and treatment. The IH South Federal facility provides transitional assistance to Federal inmates through case management and transitional drug and alcohol treatment and has expanded services to Home Confinement, a program to monitor client accountability. The out-patient programs provide out-patient treatment, case management, Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) services and general behavior management and observation on an out-patent level. Independence House is proud of the the reputation we have built with all of the agencies that we work with and will continue our commitment to providing quality service and public safety as required by our contractors.

Independence House offers community service to the neighbors surrounding the facilities. Neighbors have been very thankful for the graffiti removal, snow removal, neighborhood cleanups, and neighborhood functions that our clients have been involved with. In both residential and out-patient, we require our clients to give back to the community; overall, the clients are gratified after each event and the project becomes a success for everyone involved. We strive to stay part of our communities so that our neighbors are not kept in the dark about clients and what type of service we offer to ex-offenders.
