Welcome to our website!
The sex offender program formerly known as the Missouri Sexual Offender Treatment Center (MSOTC) is now a service provided by the Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center (SMMHC). It is now called the Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Services (SORTS).
Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Services is a civil involuntary program for the treatment of sexually violent predators. This group of offenders is disdained and rejected by society due to their crimes. We have been given the task of treating these individuals and safely returning them to the community. This requires a commitment to the belief that all persons can change. We must find the means to reach and treat every offender.
Please visit the various pages of our website to obtain information about our services. If you are interested in employment, there is a section to assist you in applying for available positions. We welcome your questions and comments.

Turn left at top of ramp and you will be on Columbia Street. The entrance to Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center (SMMHC) / Farmington Correctional Center (FCC) complex is approximately one mile on the right. Continue past SMMHC to the center of the complex to find SORTS.
