Rise up project (recovery, integration, support and empowerment) - detroit recovery project (DRP) is a nonprofit organization with over 20 years of experience providing SUD (substance use disorders) prevention, treatment, and recovery services in detroit, michigan. DRP is proposing the rise up (recovery, integration, support & empowerment) project. The rise up project will expand and enhance substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and related recovery and reentry services to sentenced adults in the criminal justice system with a SUD, moud (medication for opioid use disorder), and/or CO-occurring substance use and mental disorders. DRP's primary goal is to support and empower returning citizens and their families following a period of incarceration in state prisons, local jails, and/or detention centers. Building on the strength of existing collaborative relationships with community partners, the michigan department of corrections, wayne county jail, community corrections, and local drug courts, DRP will provide in-reach and post-release support to include SUD/moud treatment, peer recovery coaching, recovery support services, case management, primary and preventative care, employment and housing support, transportation, and prove evidence-based interventions such as medication assisted treatment (mat), motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and strengthening families to further support a positive reentry back to the community and with their families. Over the five years of the project, DRP will address the following goals: (1) increase access to treatment and recovery support services for individuals with SUD or COD returning to the community after incarceration; (2) decrease problematic substance use among this group; and (3) support reentry, reduce recidivism and decrease criminal justice involvement. The rise up project will provide services to 450 individuals with creating innovative pathways to recovery for individuals and families impacted by SUD, moud, and/or CO-occurring disorders with criminal justice involvement.
