REENTRY SERVICES DIVISION
HOUSING
There were two new facilities added to
the THOR directory—The Extension,
Inc., with two locations (one for men and
one for women) in Cobb Co. Both
locations have received accreditation
from the Department of Community
Health and CARF (Commission on
Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities)
and are considered recovery residences.
See below for more information.
The Reentry Services Division is pleased to
announce the launch of our NEW THOR
DIRECTORY!
Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive, yet
concise, up-to-date information regarding housing
and recovery resources to agency staff,
stakeholders, and the public. Below are three of
the most important areas of improvement:
Distinction: There are TWO very distinct
classifications in the THOR Directory.This becomes
especially important when an Officer, a court
official, or someone in the general public wants an
RSAT program, as opposed to a facility that
specializes in "room and board" only.
Printable: The directory is now printable. We
have had requests from some DCS staff as
well as the Department of Corrections and
other state agencies to have the ability to
provide a hard copy to offenders and others
who are in need of recovery and housing
resources.
Questionnaire: For detailed information about
each provider please review the Facility
Questionnaire which has a WEALTH of
information about each individual provider.
You simply need to click the facility name in
blue in order to access the linked document.
