About Western Judicial Services Inc

Western Judicial Services Inc operates an office in Surprise, Arizona, as part of a network of offices across the state offering counseling and education programs for people involved with the criminal justice system. Founded in Phoenix in 1989 to fill a gap in quality services for misdemeanor offenders, they work alongside courts from a client’s first court appearance through the end of probation. Their focus is helping clients build the skills to live stable, ordinary lives, with substance abuse treatment for adults and juveniles, a DUI alcohol treatment program, and drug court services among their offerings. Evening and weekend hours are available, which can make it easier to keep a job while meeting court requirements.

Beyond addiction services, their Arizona programming covers DUI education classes, alcohol screens, a minor consumption program, community service hours, and electronic home detention. They also run domestic violence intervention, anger management for adults and juveniles, life skills, parenting and pre-divorce classes, a retail theft and property offense program, job skills training, and HIV/AIDS education. Clients may be evaluated with the Personality Adjustment Index, a computerized behavioral assessment the organization developed specifically for criminal justice settings. Counselors work under the supervision of certified clinicians, and each office adapts its programs to the needs of its local community.
