Step Forward offers programs and services to non-violent criminal offenders through Oakland County Community Corrections in conjunction with the county's substance abuse and community mental health offices.
Offenders may be referred to the Step Forward Program by the Court or their probation officer. The program provides counseling services and support groups focusing on substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence and anger management. The program provides intense supervision and allows flexibility for work schedules.
The program also works in conjunction with Oakland County's RESULTS Drug and Alcohol Testing Program, operated by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. RESULTS offers drug and alcohol testing to pre-trial defendants, convicted offenders, court and probation referrals and the general public.
