Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a cognitive-behavioral program used to help individuals, particularly those in the criminal justice system with substance use disorders, improve their moral reasoning and make more responsible choices. It's a structured, workbook-based program that uses group exercises and homework assignments to address substance abuse, criminal thinking, and related issues. MRT aims to change thought processes and decision-making, ultimately reducing recidivism and promoting positive behavioral changes. 

 Key aspects of MRT:

• Cognitive-behavioral approach: MRT utilizes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address underlying thought patterns and behaviors. 
• Focus on moral reasoning: The program emphasizes the development of moral reasoning skills and the ability to make ethical judgments. 
• Structured program: MRT follows a step-by-step approach, with a typical duration of 12-16 weeks. 
• Group sessions and homework: Participants engage in group discussions, exercises, and activities, and complete homework assignments to practice new skills. 
• Assessment and personalization:The program begins with an assessment phase to tailor the treatment plan to individual needs. 
• Goals:MRT aims to improve self-image, increase feelings of purpose, build healthier relationships, and encourage a positive identity. 
• Applications:MRT has been used in various settings, including drug courts, prisons, substance abuse treatment programs, and domestic violence programs.
