Reentry programs are often based on a case-management approach and are typically developed on the basis of the current understanding of the dynamic risk factors associated with recidivism. Programs vary according to the recidivism risk factors and the type of social integration challenges they are designed to address. Many programs focus on specific challenges confronting offenders, such as addiction, drug abuse, or unemployment and many offender reintegration programs have been designed to deal with specific categories of offencers, such as chronic offenders, drug addicted offenders, young offenders, mentally ill offenders or dangerous sexual offenders.

Traditionally, there are three main types of offender reintegration programs:

1) Institution-based (some of which are offered by community-base agencies)
2) Surveillance-based programs
3) Assistance based transition programs
