Community support plays a vital role in addressing substance use disorder (SUD) and serious mental illness (SMI) within the justice system. To effectively prevent incarceration and reduce relapse rates after release, a holistic, whole-person care approach is essential. This requires collaborative efforts among diverse stakeholders, including correctional facilities, social service organizations, and healthcare providers. By working together, we can enhance treatment effectiveness, improve crisis response, and emphasize the importance of Medicaid access during reentry. Join us as we explore innovative strategies to improve outcomes for individuals navigating the justice system, fostering a pathway to recovery and reentry.
