Oriana House Services - Cuyahoga County
In Cuyahoga County Ohio, there is a purposeful and collaborative initiative to focus
community efforts on improving outcomes associated with the transition from prison
to the community. Oriana House, Inc., strives to offer services that help returning
citizens develop a sense of responsibility and self-sufficiency; facilitate their ability
to pay rent, restitution, and taxes; and provide opportunities to establish critical
ties to family and community. In doing so, Oriana House has worked closely with
officials from Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, and the neighboring communities; the
legal community; law enforcement; The Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health
Services (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County; and many community agencies.
Because 95% of offenders return home, comprehensive rehabilitation and reentry
services benefit them and all members of the community. Research shows that
individuals are significantly less likely to re-offend when they are placed into evidencebased programs that offer rehabilitation, facilitate education and employment, and
focus on successful community living.
In this brochure you will find an outline of the services we provide in Cuyahoga
County. Oriana House, a nationally renowned, private, non-profit agency, also has
facilities in Summit County and in North Central Ohio and has been providing services
in Ohio since 1981.

case management; community service; and drug testing services. Licensed counselors provide
substance abuse treatment including aftercare. Routine and random alcohol and drug testing are
required, and clients’ whereabouts are closely monitored.

Facility 3540 Croton Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115
The program also serves as a Residential Reentry Center for offenders in the Federal system, and
targets Transitional Control offenders from the state prison system, individuals on parole, and
clients through the Cuyahoga County Jail Reduction program.
Community Based Correctional Facilities (CBCFs) provide a local alternative to a prison sentence
for non-dangerous persons who have the potential to be rehabilitated through local sanctions,
substance abuse treatment, work, and education. They also provide programming that helps
offenders who are returning to the
community at the end of their prison
sentence. Every CBCF in Ohio has an
appointed Facility Governing Board
that is responsible for oversight of
its facility.
Programming The CBCF program
is designed to last four to six months,
consists of three progressive phases
and, in Cuyahoga County, is for male
offenders only. Clients are closely monitored, participate in extensive programming, and are
subject to routine and random alcohol and drug testing.
Upon admission, clients are restricted to the facility for a minimum of 30 days. They are assessed
for substance abuse, education, employment, cognitive skills, and other needs. After appropriate
programming is established and an individual demonstrates readiness, then appointments for
job searching, school, 12-step programs, etc., may be pre-approved and then verified. Eventually
clients prepare to reenter the community by establishing housing and fiscal responsibility.
When clients successfully complete all program requirements, they are released to community
supervision (probation). If additional programming is needed, clients may be eligible or required
to participate in Transitional Services, a non-residential component of the CBCF that requires them
to continue with case management, classes, or other services.
Fannie M. Lewis Community Corrections & Treatment Center
1829 E. 55th Street, Cleveland, OH 44115
The goal of this facility is to divert adult, felony
offenders from the crowded jail and prison
systems to a highly structured, residential
setting that emphasizes establishing the skills
needed for successful community reentry.
Programming The halfway house program
is three to six months in length and offers
evidence-based, individualized programming
for felony offenders in need of intensive
services. Programming is assessmentdriven and includes cognitive behavioral groups such as Thinking for a Change; employment;
Oriana House Hough Center
6000 Hough Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115
Offenders can be directly referred by the court, probation, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation
and Correction, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the Adult Parole Authority. Offenders classified
as sexual offenders are ineligible.
This facility, which previously housed the Salvation Army, now offers Day Programming
Services as part of Oriana House’s non-residential community corrections. Individuals
on Day Programming are required to report in-person for classes, substance abuse
treatment, and/or other services for 5-20 hours per week and as often as five days
a week. Drug and alcohol testing is done regularly and electronic monitoring and residential
placements are available if closer supervision or increased level of treatment are needed. Adult
offenders are referred to Day Programming by courts or probation departments. The CBCF
Transitional Services Program is also located in this facility.
Oriana House Reentry Center
North Star Neighborhood Reentry Resource Center
1804 E. 55th Street, Cleveland, OH 44115
This facility houses a halfway house program and a Community Residential Center. The halfway
house program operates jointly with the halfway house
program at the Fannie M. Lewis Community Corrections
& Treatment Center, offering all the same services and
programming for appropriate offenders.
The Community Residential Center provides housing,
limited monitoring of residents, case management, and
community referrals for services. The program serves men who have been released from Ohio
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction facilities with no viable home placement options who
are stabilized and have moderate to low programming needs that can be met in the community.
Drug Testing and Substance Abuse Treatment
R
Overcoming addiction to alcohol and other drugs is integral to an individual’s success.
Oriana House’s treatment services are certified through the Ohio Department of Mental
Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS). Licensed treatment counselors conduct
individual assessments to determine the nature and extent of a client’s substance use.
Appropriate treatment goals and programming are established for each client ranging
from preparing to start treatment, to individual and group sessions with a licensed,
experienced counselor, to aftercare treatment to help maintain sobriety.

encouragement, and support to family and close friends of people affected by addiction.

This essential and unique service assists those

access to computer training labs, employment
services, assistance obtaining vouchers for state
IDs and birth certificates, GED classes, health

CBCF in designing and painting this communityminded mural on the outside of North Star NRRC .
Cuyahoga County Adult Transition Model (ATM) The Cuyahoga County ATM provides services
and assistance to Cuyahoga County offenders prior to their prison release. Orientations are held
in the participating institutions so that during their last weeks of incarceration individuals can
meet staff and learn about services offered at North Star NRRC.
*The CBCF and halfway house facilities are accredited by the American Correctional Association. The
halfway house program is also licensed by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and
audited by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Oriana House, Inc., has earned the Standards of Excellence
accreditation by the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
Research Based Assessments and Programming
To reduce recidivism and change offender behavior, a validated, statewide assessment
tool – the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) – which Oriana House staff helped to
develop and teach, is used to determine the level of services each individual needs.
Behaviors including antisocial attitudes, peers, personality, poor family relationships,
and low educational or vocational achievement are addressed and Oriana House staff
work individually with clients to establish accountability. Teaching techniques such as
modeling appropriate behavior, reinforcing desired actions and deterring unwanted
actions, and role playing problem-solving and relationship-building skills are used. By
targeting dysfunctional thought patterns, Oriana House’s programming helps offenders
change the way they act by changing the way they think.
