John G. Richards specializes in providing substance abuse treatment services to 12 to 18 year-old male juveniles with alcohol and other drug abuse problems. These services are designed to assist juveniles in abstaining from using alcohol and other drugs and in becoming productive members of their communities when the Juvenile Parole Board releases them.

John G. Richards is also home to a Communities in Schools (CIS) program, which provides specialized education services and is the nation's first in a juvenile correctional setting. A Special Management Unit is a place to separate juveniles who have significant behavioral management issues from the general population. John G. Richards opened in 1966.
