Summary

The investigators seek to develop and assess the effectiveness of Substance Use Programming for Person-Oriented Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT), a community-driven recovery-oriented system of care for individuals recently released from prison. SUPPORT is modeled after Indiana Access to Recovery (ATR), a program that operated between October 2007 and December 2014. ATR, a national initiative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), provided comprehensive, flexible, recovery-oriented services for substance use disorder (SUD). The investigators' local evaluation of this program demonstrated significant improvement in a number of recovery-related outcomes (e.g., substance use, employment, income, involvement in the criminal justice system, and emotional well-being) for clients between intake and discharge. Additionally, qualitative findings from this evaluation demonstrated ATR was well liked among clients and providers. While Indiana ATR did serve a wider range of clients, the investigators have focused SUPPORT on returning inmates because (a) this was the largest group served by the program and (b) there is significant need for evidence-based SUD interventions for this population.

The investigators' primary long-term goal is to establish an effective and scalable recovery-oriented system of care for SUD within the reentry population. The investigators will conduct a pilot test comparing SUPPORT clients to clients receiving usual treatment. The investigators will collect quantitative data for both groups at multiple time points to understand the intervention's impact on recovery capital and outcomes and will collect qualitative data from SUPPORT clients to better understand their program and post-discharge experiences.

Conditions

  • Substance Use

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

SUPPORT

SUPPORT clients will be offered 12 months of support service with a recovery coach. The recovery coach will guide the client through their recovery, offering guidance and support, while coordinating their treatment services, including support services. The program will provide clients with up to $700 worth of vouchers to cover the cost of additional flexible support services over the 12 months of program enrollment, which will be personalized to fit the needs of the client. These cost vouchers will cover support services, such as housing, employment services, substance use treatment, transportation, childcare, educational or vocational services, or aftercare planning. The costs of each service is determined by the service provider. Further, the recovery coach will assist the client in choosing appropriate services and coordinating/monitoring service completion.
