The Transitioning to Recovery (TTR) program will provide comprehensive reentry planning and treatment services to adult inmates leaving the local jail systems in rural Tennessee. The program will provide screening, assessment, and reentry planning for inmates who are within four months of release and have been sentenced to more than three months of incarceration, addressing addiction, co-occurring disorders, and trauma. To facilitate successful reintegration into the community, treatment and recovery services will be initiated immediately upon release. TTR is designed to eliminate barriers to successful reintegration by assisting participants with recovery from addictive disorders, co-occurring disorders, and trauma. A special emphasis will be on providing treatment for participants with histories of trauma. Recovery services are a vital part of remediating key indicators of recidivism, including lack of job history and employability, lack of vocational and job skills, inability to manage mental health symptoms, and inability to maintain sobriety. The project incorporates evidence-based models to increase engagement into services and offer hope in life-long recovery. Using Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change Model, cognitive behavioral therapy and intensive, clinical case management, the program model is grounded in strong practice strategies that will ensure positive outcomes for those being served. Addressing criminogenic needs and risks is a vital component of the individualized transition program. The project objectives include building strong collaborations with local criminal justice systems and local communities.
