The Camden County Department of Correction (CCDOC) received a $1,600,000 Project Grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (CFDA 16.838) to implement the NuEntry Peer Led Program (NPLP). The NPLP aims to expand CCDOC's capacity to identify, treat, and support individuals incarcerated at the Camden County Correctional Facility (CCCF) with a history of substance use disorder, particularly non-opioid substance use. Key activities include integrating care coordination during incarceration, embedding peer support teams, providing recovery housing, and enhancing family reunification efforts to promote continuity of care, reduce relapses, and improve community reintegration. The project also includes conducting a system assessment and establishing a research-driven database to address gaps in substance use disorder treatment and racial disparities within the criminal justice system. The award period is from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2027.
