Targeted Transitional Services: From Treatment to Recovery - Center Point, Inc. (CPI) is requesting $375,000 per year for up to three years from SAMHSA CSAT to establish Recovery Residences where people who are transitioning out of CPI's adult residential treatment programs can live with their peers while attending outpatient counseling services and support groups, learning and practicing life skills, and implementing their individual recovery plans with the support of Recovery Coaches. Project activities will take place in Marin County, CA. The population of focus for CPI's "Targeted Transitional Services: From Treatment to Recovery" is low-income and indigent CPI clients who lack access to affordable housing, employment and a living wage, recovery supports, and a supportive peer network when they leave the residential treatment environment. The goal of the project is to help people in early recovery not only obtain housing, employment, stability and sobriety, but also develop positive relationships and social networks that offer hope, purpose and community. CPI's project will serve 20 unduplicated individuals per year and 60 unduplicated individuals total.
This targeted Special Project will leverage private, state and federal funding to help bridge the gap in supports and services for low-income and indigent people who are in the earliest stages of recovery and at greatest risk of relapse. CPI is participating in California's new Recovery Residence program, which allows counties to use SABG funds to pay room and board for people living in peer-run and/or monitored sober living homes, so long as they are also participating in medically necessary substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services. CPI will lease 5 scattered sites housing units in San Rafael, CA, to provide 10 Recovery Residence beds for clients of the CPI adult residential program who transition into outpatient and IOP programs. SAMHSA Special Projects funding will be utilized to hire one Recovery Support Manager and two Recovery Coaches who will provide case management, job and life skills building, and individualized recovery planning focused on helping Recovery Residence participants gain long-term financial security, stable housing, better health, and a supportive social network.
The goals for the project are to provide housing and peer support that helps participants avoid relapse and develop stability in early recovery; provide comprehensive case management and supportive services; and enhance the community's recovery-oriented system of care to improve treatment outcomes, reduce recidivism, and increase participants' physical and emotional well-being. Outcomes for the 60 participants will include increased rates of stable housing, financial literacy, employment, health care access, abstinence from substance use, and participation in IOP, outpatient, or Recovery Support services. CPI is a CARF Accredited DHCS licensed and certified program (DHCS designated ASAM Level of Care 3.1 and 3.5; 1.0 and 2.1 outpatient programs) and is a DMC Certified provider. Special Projects services will be coordinated with psychosocial therapies, case management, and wraparound services, and clients will be directly linked into primary care in partnership with local Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
