Panel Discussion: Addressing Re-Entry and Community-Based Solutions: Intercepts 4-5
Thursday May 22, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm EDT
Turf Valley-Grand Ballroom
This session will offer a multi-faceted view of re-entry efforts, showcasing effective strategies and resources to support the successful reintegration of justice-involved individuals with behavioral health issues into society.

The session will begin with an exploration of the unique needs and considerations for incarcerated individuals with behavioral health issues, particularly regarding discharge and re-entry planning. A focus will be placed on findings from a comprehensive landscape analysis, highlighting ongoing technical assistance efforts and available funding to support behavioral health and re-entry initiatives for justice-impacted individuals. Attention will also be given to a county-level re-entry program that successfully links incarcerated individuals with behavioral health treatment, coordinates appointments, arranges medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and facilitates state care coordination and housing or residential treatment referrals upon release.

Additionally, the session will cover a comprehensive treatment center model that offers a full spectrum of care under one roof, ensuring individuals have access to the treatment and support they need as they transition back into society.
