ADULT DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER

ADULT DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER is a public school that is part of the OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS school district, located in AVENEL, NJ.

The **ADULT DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER (ADTC)**, located at 8 Production Way in Avenel, New Jersey, is not a traditional academic school, but rather a specialized secure facility operated by the New Jersey Department of Corrections. It serves as the state’s primary institution for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of adult male offenders who have been identified as repetitive and compulsive sex offenders under New Jersey's former "Sex Offender Act."

The facility functions as both a prison and a clinical treatment center, focusing on a therapeutic community model. Its primary mission is to provide intensive psychological evaluation, individual and group therapy, and behavioral modification programs aimed at addressing the underlying causes of compulsive criminal behavior. While it does not offer standard K-12 or higher education curricula, it provides rehabilitative services and specialized programming designed to prepare inmates for potential transition and to reduce the risk of recidivism upon release.

For more information, contact ADULT DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER at (732) 574-2250 or visit the school personally to speak with a faculty or administrative member about any specific questions you may have.
