Pegasus offers two separate and distinctly different programs on one campus: the Pegasus Sex Offender Treatment Program, and the Pegasus Freedom Program.
Pegasus Sex Offender Treatment Program
The overall goal of the Sex Offender Treatment Program is to break the cycle of sexual abuse; stop the sexually abusive and other criminal or harmful behavior exhibited by the residents, ultimately resulting in no subsequent sexual offenses.
The therapeutic approach is a cognitive behavioral framework including providers with specialized training and licensure to provide sex offender specific treatment.
The goals of treatment include victim empathy, accepting responsibility, comprehension of offense cycle, comprehension of laws and statutes, and development of effective coping skills focusing on high risk situations.
Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Providers (L.S.O.T.P.) conduct intensive regular group therapy which has proven historically to be the single most effective avenue to true positive change in the sex offender population.
Individual therapy is provided as needed as well as family therapy sessions.
Pegasus Freedom Program
The Pegasus Freedom Program employs a comprehensive approach to affecting change in thinking patterns as well as behaviors exhibited by the residents.
The residents are instructed, encouraged and evaluated as to progress in three areas; therapy, education and behavior.
Therapy is provided from a cognitive behavioral approach by licensed therapists.
Education is delivered by the University of Texas University Charter School Pegasus Campus.
Behavior modification model is based on a level system to which all privileges and activities are tied.
The Freedom Program employs the nationally recognized“Why Try”Program.
