What is the difference between Project Solutions programming and other similar programs at other agencies?  

We cannot speak for other agencies, but we can tell you about our programs and our philosophy of treatment. 

 

For starters, our agency is:

 

  • Focused on wellness

  • Dedicated to working with individuals that are court involved

  • Comprised of caring and qualified professionals

  • Specialized in jail alternative programs 

  • Not so large that we lose track of what’s important (the client), but big enough to provide well-rounded services

 

At Project Solutions we treat our clients with respect.  You will not be treated like a criminal or be shamed; nor will you be treated like an “alcoholic/addict”. You will be treated like a real human, with a real-life, with real problems, and a real need to be introduced to a professional that can empathize and understand your situation.

 

Will my private insurance/medical card pay for my Jail Alternative Program at Project Solutions?
