Founded in 1969, Spectrum Health Systems, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals impacted by addiction and/or mental health disorders. Spectrum’s Correctional Treatment Division was established in 1993 to provide specialized, person-centered, trauma-informed treatment to individuals with a history of substance use and criminal behavior.

Over the years, Spectrum has partnered with correctional agencies throughout the country to deliver a broad range of substance use treatment and recidivism reduction programs to justice-involved individuals within prisons, jails, and community-based settings. We appreciate the unique management approach needed to support operations both near and far, having operated multi-state programs for more than twenty-nine years. Spectrum regularly pursues new program development opportunities across the country and welcomes inquiries from interested parties seeking effective treatment solutions.
