The purpose of the PSCH, Inc. program is to develop and operate an Integrated Service Network (ISN) to engage individuals prior to release from the NYC Rikers Island Correctional facility, with a focus on assessment and referral for integrated treatment of co-occurring disorders (COD). The project will serve 50 individuals in the first year, with 80 individuals served annually afterward for a total of 370. The population is characterized as chronically homeless and serially inebriated African-American and Hispanic adults with SUD and co-occurring mental health problems (COD), including trauma and co-morbid medical problems, recently released from Rikers Island. The population will be representative of the overall Rikers population in that seventy-five percent will have been convicted of drug-related offenses and 25% percent will have been treated for a mental disorder. Ninety percent will lack a high school diploma or equivalent (DOHMH, 2007), and 75% will return to incarceration within a year (DOHMH, 2007) without intervention. Comprehensive case management and health navigation services will be available via a "New York Model" decision matrix which will categorize individuals based on their separate co-morbid disorder severities and match them to the appropriate type and intensity of services.
