Coastal Horizons Center, Inc. proposes to expand the treatment & recovery support services provided by its ReEntry Systems for Effective Treatment (RESET) program to individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) or co-occurring disorders (COD) transitioning to the community from incarceration in local facilities. This project will be carried out in partnership with the New Hanover County Detention Center (NHCDC), North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS), Oxford House, Journeymen Recovery Homes, Seeking Serenity, Leading into New Communities (LINC), & Phoenix Hometown Hires. RESET was first implemented in 2015 to provide SUD & COD services to women returning to New Hanover County after a period of incarceration. The proposed project, through the RESET program, will continue to serve women & expand to include men. The population of focus for the proposed expansion project consists of men & women 18 years & older transitioning from incarceration in the NHCDC to NHC. To participate in the proposed project, adult individuals must have been incarcerated for at least three months; or served at least one month in NHCDC for a probation/post-release violation; must have been diagnosed with SUD or COD; & are within four months of scheduled release to the community. RESET will provide pre-release treatment services including screening, assessment, transitional planning (including referrals to wraparound/recovery support services) & Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT). Post-release treatment services include evidenced-based practices such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, MRT, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, Matrix Model, & Parenting Inside Out. The proposed project has five goals: 1) reduce the health, social, & economic costs of SUD & COD by increasing the number of individuals served & providing the services that will meet the needs of the population of focus; 2) enhance the ability of all participants to improve their quality of life by providing them with the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential the four dimensions of recovery; 3) reduce recidivism among project participants by decreasing alcohol/drug use & thus increase the safety of the community; 4) expand & enhance SUD & COD treatment & recovery support services among agencies serving the population of focus to strengthen system linkages among correctional agencies & the community-based applicant organization in the County; & (5) evaluate the project. The proposed project will serve 50 individuals in Year 1, 100 annually in Years 2 through 4, & 50 in Year 5. Thus, a total of 400 adults will be served with grant funds during the 5-year project period.
