Recovery Therapeutic Community Intensive Outpatient Program

The Improving Reentry for Adults with Co-occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Program improves provision of services to offenders with co-occurring substance abuse and mental illness (CSAMI) when they leave incarceration to reenter the community, which in turn will help to reduce recidivism and promote public safety. Specifically, its goal is to improve access to and delivery of standardized screening and assessment, collaborative comprehensive case management, and pre- and post-release programming for returning inmates that address criminogenic risk and needs, including treatment and services that address mental illness and substance abuse.

The program prioritizes coordination among corrections, substance abuse, and mental health treatment providers, as well as correctional health, and parole or probation services, which enables the development of collaborative comprehensive case plans that address criminogenic risk, substance abuse, and mental health needs.

The grantee will use funds to support the Recovery Therapeutic Community Intensive Outpatient Program (RTC -IOP). The goals of RTC-IOP are to reduce recidivism, enhance safety, and improve the lives of the individuals served. The RTC-IOP program anticipates serving 240 individuals with pre-release services and 170 individuals with post-release services.
