Safe and sound Recovery Re-entry program creates a cross-system partnership which facilitates persons in the jail with substance use disorders, Mental Health issues and/or life barriers to become engaged with behavioral health treatment and also provides connective services to community resources that address the multiple barriers experienced when re-entering the community. Our care team is dedicated to removing the barriers and overcoming the social determinants of health that the majority of inmates experience once released from custody.

Behavioral Health treatment paired with a coordinated intensive re-entry program can provide education, support, resources, and community connections to address these identified service gaps. It is our mission and priority to reduce the proportion of individuals experiencing homelessness and lack of resources following release from institutions. Safe and Sound recovery's Re-entry program provides comprehensive and evidence based re-entry services to jail inmates prior to and post release of custody. Other reasons include finding out if there’s a comorbid disorder or other drugs being used and to learn how much substance use affects the person’s daily life.The information gathered during the evaluation is private and only used to create a personalized treatment plan to focus on during the recovery process.

Mainly, it’s to determine if an individual meets the criteria for a substance use disorder diagnosis and, if so, how severe the disorder is at that time. There are a few reasons clinicians perform an assessment. It leads to a dependence on drugs, alcohol or medications if addicted, the individual continues to use the drug even if it’s harming them. Every drug is different, so there’s no single way to determine if someone will develop an addiction.

Substance use disorders are a disease like any other medical condition affecting brain function and everyday behavior. The doorway to accessing treatment and recovery starts with an Assessment by a State Certified Substance Use Disorder Professional.
