Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average length of involvement with the program?
The length of client involvement with the program will vary depending on the length of time the
client is at the facility. Each client will receive services through the Reintegration Program
throughout their stay at the facility, and for 90 days when they return to the community.
Is it mandatory that all clients from Philadelphia who are leaving Abraxas facilities participate in the program?
Yes. Any youth who is delinquent and will be residing in Philadelphia County is required to
participate in the program.
Do program staff work directly with probation?
Yes. Client progress is reported to the assigned probation officer. One of the program's
objectives is to assist clients in adhering to the terms of their probation.
How often will I see my Reintegration Worker?
While a client is in placement, their Reintegration Worker will visit the client's family in their
home at least once a month. The Reintegration Worker will also visit the client at the facility
on a quarterly basis. Once the client returns to the community, they will see their
Reintegration Worker anywhere from one to three times per week depending on the level of
need.
What services will my Reintegration Worker provide?
Reintegration Workers will act as a liaison between parents, facilities, and probation officers.
They will develop a reintegration plan for each client within 60 days of the youth being admitted
to the facility. The reintegration plan will include goals that the youth and their family need to
achieve. The Reintegration Worker will assist the youth and their family in reaching these
goals by providing them with the proper resources in their community.
