Cpicjlinkages - center point, INC. (CPI) is requesting $399,999 per year for up to five years from the samhsa csat to expand treatment and related recovery and reentry services for adult men and women with a substance use disorder and/or CO-occurring mental health disorder (SUD/MH) who are returning to the community from incarceration in state and local jails. The geographic catchment area where services will be delivered in marin county, CA. The populations of focus for the project are racial and ethnic minority men and women who have a SUD/MH and who are currently incarcerated and within four months of scheduled release to the community or are parolees or probationers at high risk of recidivism. CPI will provide reentry services to 20 participants transitioning from incarceration and/or who are an at-risk probationer or parolee in each project year, for a total of 100 unduplicated individuals served over five years. CPI has established a collaborative partnership with the marin county sheriff's office (MCSO) to provide services in marin county jail including screening, assessment, and recruitment of individuals into reentry program services. CPI will directly provide outpatient and residential SUD/MH treatment to all participants, depending on their assessed level of need and treatment goals, along with comprehensive case management and recovery support services (RSS) to reduce participants' criminal justice involvement and improve abstinence from substance use, housing stability, employment status, social connectedness, and overall physical and behavioral health. All participants will have access to CPI's comprehensive, integrated SUD treatment and recovery support system that include residential, outpatient, continuing and aftercare, recovery residence transitional housing, RSS, and vocational and employment services. Project services will be coordinated with psychosocial therapies and RSS, and clients will be directly linked into ongoing primary care and supportive services in partnership with local federally qualified health centers (FQHCS) and community-based agency partners. Over the five-year grant period, CPI's project will expand in-reach screenings, assessments, and pre-release transition planning to increase 100 participants' access to and engagement in community-based SUD/MH treatment; expand transitional services and RSS that provide emotional and practical support to maintain participant remission and reduce recidivism; and expand and enhance CPI's service delivery model to provide evidence-based and population-appropriate harm reduction and treatment services to meet the unique needs of diverse populations at risk. Outcomes for participants will include increased SUD/MH treatment access and participation, decreased substance use, decreased criminal justice involvement, and overall improvements in physical, emotional, and mental health.
