Question 1 – Sex Offense CBT Program Description

Describe how you will provide Sexual Offense specific CBT? Please include the curriculum and materials that will be used.

Prodigy Healthcare is fully prepared to continue delivering a comprehensive, 24/7 Community

MRT curriculum.

Specialized CBT treatment for sex offenders on community supervision or pending release, ensuring proper risk management, accountability, and rehabilitation.

✔ Minimum dosage requirements will be established based on research and outcome metrics to ensure proper cognitive restructuring.

✔ Treatment dosage will be determined collaboratively between ADCRR and Prodigy Healthcare based on risk level.

✔ Each participant will receive a brief intake screening to determine treatment suitability and risk classification.

✔ Community Corrections Officers will supply ORAS scores and Sexual Offense Registration Level data for appropriate placement.

Our specialized Sex Offense-Specific CBT program ensures a structured, research-backed approach to supervision and rehabilitation.

The MRT program used for Sexual Offense-Specific CBT groups is Making Changes for Good, followed by

How to Escape Your Prison.

Making Changes for Good This workbook was designed for sex offender relapse prevention.

Target population & Use

In group each client presents the completed homework and the counselor utilizes objective criteria to ensure that the homework is satisfactory. The groups are open-ended in that new clients can enter ongoing groups at any time and work at their own pace.

JULY 2025 3 | P a g e

Question 2 – Career Criminal CBT Program Description

Describe how you will provide Career Criminal specific CBT? Please include the curriculum and materials that will be used.

Prodigy Healthcare has extensive experience delivering Career Criminal-specific Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy (CBT) designed to address entrenched criminal thinking patterns and reduce risk of reoffending among habitual offenders.

Specialized CBT treatment targets high-risk individuals with extensive, habitual criminal histories, reducing their likelihood of reoffending while prioritizing public safety.

✔ Participants will attend between 48 and 96 treatment sessions, with a maximum of two group sessions per week.

✔ Treatment dosage will be jointly determined by ADCRR and Prodigy Healthcare, ensuring a risk-based approach.

✔ Each offender will undergo an intake screening, including an assessment of background and potential conflicts between group members.

✔ Gang intelligence screening and placement considerations will be applied to prevent safety risks.

Risk Management & Individualized Treatment Planning

• Individual sessions will be limited to 10 unless additional treatment is justified through a formal written request.

• Community Corrections Officers will provide ACCAT scores and Security Threat Group (STG) affiliation data to support risk-based placement.

• ADCRR may refer offenders from statewide regions, and those individuals will be able to access

Career Criminal CBT via Telehealth if in-person services are unavailable.

By leveraging behavioral interventions specific to high-risk individuals, Prodigy Healthcare ensures that Career

Criminal participants receive tailored, effective treatment that prioritizes public safety and long-term rehabilitation.

Question 3 – Program Delivery: Office Locations and Implementation

Are you able to meet the mandatory office requirements under section 3. PROGRAM DELIVERY- OFFICES?

Prodigy Healthcare affirms that we can meet or exceed all office, licensing, and staffing requirements under Section 3.

Prodigy Healthcare maintains an active presence in Maricopa County and is prepared to meet all mandatory office requirements specified under Section 3 of the Scope of Work. As reflected in the updated

Program Implementation Timeline – Future Sites

Facilities: Primary Target Sites = Prescott Valley, Flagstaff, Florence, Yuma, Kingman, Safford, Douglas, and

Snowflake (or Show Low or Holbrook)

Facilities: Secondary Target Sites = Casa Grande, Prescott, Bullhead City, and Lake Havasu

Note: This schedule is based on a 30-day ramp up after target site is leased. The timelines provided are estimates based upon our experience with program implementation at other facilities. Upon award of this contract, and the decision to expand to additional counties, we will work closely with the Department to adjust timelines as mutually agreed upon. The risk involved in delivering these sites is primarily related to the readiness of the facilities. At Prodigy we have staff with more than 20 years of experience in commercial real estate development, executing leases and constructing tenant improvements. If a project is delayed, there are many ways to use temporary space until ready. Prodigy personnel recruit, hire, and train counselors on an ongoing basis in order to maintain the growth in our court contracts, and will have no trouble hiring for the expanded county areas. Once hired, Prodigy conducts 32-64 hours of training to certify the counselors as MRT Counselors, which quickens the training and lowers the risk of expansion.

Question 4 – Statewide Telehealth Program Delivery

Describe how you will offer statewide telehealth under section 4. PROGRAM DELIVERY- TELEHEALTH.

As a collaboration with the Department in 2018, Prodigy developed a Telehealth Program to provide services on a statewide basis, representing a cost-effective solution to statewide expansion and increased reach for otherwise untreated demographics. The Department can easily regulate its expansion via the referral process, allowing complete control of the costs and the ability to remain within its budget for the overall program. These services are currently provided on a limited basis and can be expanded quickly.

With Prodigy Telehealth™, offenders enrolled in a CBT Program that reside in locations outside of Maricopa and Pima Counties will continue to be able to participate, remotely, in live group therapy just as they would with in-person group therapy. Additionally, offenders will be able to continue to complete their screening requirements remotely.

4.1. Telehealth Programming availability shall be determined by availability of funds and need of ADC.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Prodigy will continue to enroll offenders in Telehealth that are referred by ADCRR, as they are deemed appropriate for services by

ADCRR.

4.2. The Department may choose to add additional population/crime specific Groups in the future. This includes CBT curricula already developed and potentially new CBT curricula.

4.2.1. Offerors shall submit a plan of how they will work with the authors of the CBT to develop new curricula.

Prodigy acknowledges and fully complies with this section, recognizing the importance of expanding CBT offerings to meet the evolving needs of ADCRR’s supervised populations.

Prodigy, along with its predecessor companies, has a long-standing professional relationship with Dr. Ken

Robinson, co-creator of Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT®) and a recognized leader in CBT-based correctional programming. We have successfully collaborated with Dr. Robinson and Correctional

Counseling, Inc. (CCI) in the past to develop and refine CBT curricula, ensuring programs remain evidence-based, effective, and aligned with best practices.

If ADCRR elects to introduce new population- or crime-specific CBT groups, Prodigy Healthcare will:

✔ Leverage our existing partnership with Dr. Robinson and CCI to create tailored, research-backed curricula.

✔ Ensure alignment with ADCRR’s rehabilitation goals, incorporating measurable outcome metrics to assess program effectiveness.

✔ Collaborate closely with ADCRR stakeholders to ensure new curricula integrate seamlessly into existing correctional programming.

Prodigy Healthcare’s direct experience in CBT curriculum development—with guidance from one of the field’s leading experts—ensures that any future expansions will be both research-driven and highly effective in reducing recidivism.

JULY 2025 16 | P a g e

4.3. Outpatient substance abuse groups shall utilize Hazelden’s A New Direction Criminal and Addictive Thinking and Relapse Prevention workbooks which complement the Department’s Addiction Treatment Program.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Prodigy will utilize

Hazelden’s A New Direction Criminal and Addictive Thinking, and Relapse Prevention workbooks to complement the Department’s Addiction Treatment Program.

A New Direction

Relapse Prevention

Addresses common relapse triggers and shows offenders how to create a crisis management plan to avoid relapse.

Criminal & Addictive Thinking

Explores the distorted thinking patterns at the root of addiction and criminal behavior

A New Direction is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral therapy treatment program that trains chemically dependent offenders to challenge their thinking in order to change their criminal and addictive behavior patterns.

• Real inmates tell the real story about recovering from a life of addiction and crime

• Cognitive-behavioral approach helps inmates see how their attitudes and assumptions fuel destructive behaviors

• Modular structure allows for easy customization to meet individual, facility, and budget needs

• Can be wholly implemented as a new program or implemented in part to enhance your existing program

• Features built-in tools for measuring outcomes

• Provides framework for standardized treatment from facility to facility

Six Modules

A New Direction consists of six core modules: Intake & Orientation, Criminal & Addictive Thinking, Drug & Alcohol Education, Socialization, Relapse Prevention, and Release & Reintegration Preparation. Each module features videos, client workbooks, and facilitator's guides.

Training

A New Direction can be implemented with ease. Hazelden offers training on many products to help you develop an in-depth understanding of the program and its components and to create a long-term plan for your implementation.

JULY 2025 17 | P a g e

4.3.1. Offenders in outpatient treatment will be expected to attend between 48 and 96 treatment sessions as a treatment dosage. Offenders in this track may only attend up to a maximum of three group sessions a week.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Offenders eligible for this group will be those who have had persistent alcohol and/or drug use while on parole and are showing patterns of consistent use. This program is implemented in group sessions of 120 minutes in length. The program will be open-ended and offenders are expected to complete the workbook before being considered successful in the program.

4.3.2. Offenders referred to the Substance Abuse Treatment shall receive a full assessment to obtain general bio-psycho-social information, obtain pertinent clinical information and history, and determine ability to participate.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Prodigy will conduct a full assessment on all offenders referred for outpatient substance abuse group sessions.

4.3.3. Community Corrections Officer shall supply information pertinent to risk level and treatment received while at ADC.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. The Community Corrections

Officer will supply pertinent information, including treatment received while in ADCRR custody.

4.3.4. Treatment dosage will be decided by the outcome of the intake assessment completed by the Contractor’s clinician. The clinician shall diagnose the offender’s substance abuse problem in accordance with the codes in the most current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Treatment dosage will be determined by a qualified Prodigy Healthcare clinician following a structured intake assessment. All substance use disorder diagnoses will be made in accordance with the most current version of the

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This process ensures that each offender receives the appropriate level of care based on clinical best practices and ADCRR’s rehabilitation objectives.

4.3.4.1. Offenders who score at a mild level of severity shall be placed into the General CBT track of services.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Offenders assessed at a mild level of severity will be placed into the General CBT track, which provides structured interventions to support supervision compliance and behavioral change.

JULY 2025 18 | P a g e

4.3.4.2. Offenders who score at a moderate level of severity will, in most cases, receive 48 outpatient substance abuse treatment sessions.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Offenders assessed at a moderate level of severity will, in most cases, receive 48 outpatient substance abuse treatment sessions.

4.3.4.3. Offenders who score at a severe level of current severity will, in most cases, receive 96 outpatient

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Offenders assessed at a severe level of current severity will, in most cases, receive 96 outpatient substance abuse treatment sessions.

4.3.5. Offeror shall submit the names of any and all assessments that will be utilized. Pre and Post testing shall be required to assess client’s progress.

Prodigy Healthcare has read, understands, and shall comply with this Section. Prodigy uses a number of screening tools to help determine an offender’s level of severity pertaining to substance abuse. Prodigy utilizes the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) and the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) to measure level of severity and to assist in determining the most appropriate outpatient substance abuse treatment track for the offender. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of the San

Fernando Valley (2014), the MAST has been proven to be one of the most valid and reliable screenings in measuring alcohol dependency. In addition, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (2014) states the DAST runs parallel to the MAST.

Our agency also has the ability to utilize the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) as an evaluation tool in determining the track of treatment that is most appropriate for an offender. This is an important evaluation tool because SASSI is “used to identify whether individuals have a high or low probability of being clinically diagnosed with a substance use disorder” (SASSI Institute, 2014). When used with the additional information gathered during the assessment, it can be an effective tool in determining the best fit treatment for an offender (SASSI Institute, 2014). Prodigy also has the ability to add any additional evaluation tool deemed necessary by the Department for the screening and assessment process.
