Inside Cornell Companies

Cornell Companies provides a continuum of care to adults and juveniles in institutional, residential, community-based and outpatient settings. Our broad array of services are provided in a structured, safe and secure environment.

Many of the adults and juveniles placed in our programs have intensive and/or multiple and ongoing issues that must be addressed in order to receive effective treatment and begin the recovery process. Among the services offered are:

• substance abuse/addiction counseling, education and treatment
• individual, family and group counseling
• gender-specific treatment
• behavior management strategies
• individual case management
• therapeutic communities

The adults and juveniles placed in our care have the best opportunity for personal change when they are

• involved in meaningful interaction with staff members;
• provided programming that ensures a high degree of constructive activity;
• have high expectations established;
• held accountable for their decisions and behavior; and
• treated with dignity and respect.

As professionals, we must always act in a manner that models the thinking, behaviors and values we teach. In the process, the adults and juveniles in our care, together with our staff, work toward clearly defined goals.
