Background and Discussion:
The partnership with the Houston Recovery Center has provided critical recovery support services to individuals involved in the criminal justice system who struggle with substance use and related challenges. The program offers a coordinated approach that includes peer support, clinical guidance, and referrals to essential services. By addressing root causes such as unmet medical, mental health, housing, and employment needs, the program supports long-term recovery and reduces repeated system involvement.
Expected Impact:
