Best Practices for Successful Reentry for People Who Have Opioid Addictions
The Council of State Governments' (CSG) National Reentry Resource Center (NRRC) has released a fact sheet on Best Practices for Successful Reentry for People Who Have Opioid Addictions. The fact sheet describes the best practices that correctional, community-based behavioral health, and probation and parole agencies can implement within their systems to ensure that reentry for people who have opioid addictions is safe and successful. The document provides an overview of ten ways in which the professionals in these agencies can help ensure success, which fall under the following categories: planning and coordination, behavioral health treatment and cognitive behavioral interventions, probation and parole supervision, and recovery support services.
