Substance use disorder treatment usually offer individual, group or family therapy sessions and typically focus on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free and preventing relapse. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues, including psychotherapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes, often in a combination approach for a more effective recovery plan. Medical services provide healthcare access to youth, such as treatment for physical health or assistance with health coverage like Medicaid and promote overall health and reduce the risk of returning to the juvenile justice system by addressing health-related barriers to successful community reintegration. Education services provide academic and vocational training to prepare youth for a successful return to the community, aiming to reduce recidivism by fostering practical skills and facilitating access to post-confinement opportunities. Employment services provide essential job-related support to justice-involved youth to help them successfully transition back to the community and find stable employment. Services might include skills training in areas like basic education, career readiness, and specific trades; job search assistance such as resume building and interview coaching; and job placement services to connect youth with employers. Programs also might offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. Housing assistance includes services such as transitional housing, help with security deposits and move-in costs, rental assistance, and case management to find stable, affordable accommodations. These services help young people transition into the community, providing a stable foundation to prevent homelessness and support successful reintegration. Mentoring provides structured relationships where individuals guide and support the personal growth of others. These services facilitate skill transfer, career development, and the building of confidence by fostering supportive, trusted relationships through which mentors share knowledge and insights to help mentees reach their full potential. Trauma-informed services rely on an understanding the physical, social, and emotional impact of trauma on the individual, as well as on professionals who help them. This understanding guides practices and services that promote recovery and healing for people in the justice system who have been impacted by trauma. Life skills services support youth in achieving and maintaining stability and avoiding future involvement in the juvenile justice system. Examples include interventions that help young people learn about communication, relationships with other people, team-working, problem-solving, self-regulation and self-management, and other abilities that support personal and academic or workplace success. Referrals to community-based services are intended to assist youth (and/or their families) in obtaining community resources, such as health care, mental health care, employability development and job training, and other social services.
