Description:
The purpose of this program is to expand substance abuse disorder (SUD) treatment and related recovery and reentry services to sentenced adult offenders/ex-offenders with a SUD and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorder, who are returning to their families and community from incarceration in state and local facilities, including prisons, jails, or detention centers. The funding agency is particularly interested in actively supporting offender reentry stakeholder partnerships so that clinical needs are met and clients are treated using evidence-based practices. By providing needed treatment and recovery services, this program is intended to reduce the health and social costs of substance use and dependence to the public, and increase the safety of America’s citizens by reducing substance use-related crime and violence.
The funding agency seeks applications that will include a stakeholder partnership of institutional corrections officials with community corrections and community-based treatment and recovery services in order to plan, develop, and implement a continuum of care services from the correctional institution to the community setting. Award recipients must provide a coordinated approach designed to combine transition planning in the correctional institution with effective community-based treatment, recovery- and reentry-related services to break the cycle of criminal behavior, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties.
