DETOUR provides universal faith-based guidance centered on accountability, discipline, moral responsibility, service to others, and personal transformation. We are inclusive and respectful of all faith traditions that promote positive values.
Inclusive Faith Based Guidance
How Does Faith Support Our 3 Pillars?
Faith provides a moral and ethical foundation for: lawful decisions, rebuilding family relationships, maintaining integrity in work, and avoiding negative influences.
Reentry
Faith provides: ongoing guidance, daily discipline, and community support.
Aftercare
Faith helps participants process trauma, find meaning in hardship, and develop emotional control.
Social Therapy
DETOUR succeeds because of our combined approach of Internal Change and External Guidance.
Our faith based approach helps participants find internal motivation, while the structure of our program provides them with external guidance. All the while reinforcing the values necessary for successful reintegration into society.
