About Sheridan Correctional Center
The Sheridan Correctional Center specializes in treating adult inmates with substance abuse and mental health issues. You'll find 'em out in Sheridan, Illinois. With complete dedication to the treatment of substance abuse, this center was reopened in 2004 to tackle the growing number of inmates and ex-convicts struggling with addiction.
The prison is made up of 75 buildings, with 13 housing units, and a 9-bed health care unit. The facility sits on 270 acres with 80 acres inside the perimeter fencing.
Their program features treatment interventions and access to collaborative services provided by the Illinois Department of Corrections and Adult Parole, and other organizations and community addiction treatment providers. They use trauma-informed counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address the root causes of your addiction and help you understand the potential triggers that can lead to relapse.
One unique feature is family reconciliation programs that help support your eventual reintegration into the community and mend broken relationships. Their life skills training will give you recovery tools and resources like better coping strategies, emotional regulation, and self-care methods that help you with ongoing recovery.
Inmates at this center can access peer support groups such as Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, as well as bible studies and chaplaincy to meet their spiritual needs. Peer education and drug education classes are also provided, as well as anger and aggression management groups, inner circle groups, healthy relationship education classes, and recreational therapy.
There are some amenities at this site. For those who are parents, positive parenting classes are also available. Inmates also have access to a library, as well as academic and career education to set themselves up for a fresh start once they get out.
