Recovery support services include a wide variety of non-clinical services designed to assist individuals in their recovery from substance use disorders and mental health issues. Substance use disorder treatment aftercare usually offers individual, group, or family therapy sessions and typically focuses on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free, and preventing relapse. Employment services provide essential, job-related support to youth at risk or in the juvenile justice system. These services help youth 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 might also offer vocational training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and career planning. 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. 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, provide a stable foundation to prevent homelessness, and support successful reintegration. Mental health treatment refers to a range of therapeutic strategies used to address mental illnesses, mental health conditions, and behavioral health issues. Strategies include 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. Services can include medical or dental care. Trauma treatment involves a mental health treatment approach that recognizes the symptoms and root causes of trauma and provides a safe, supportive environment for the individual. These approaches can include various types of therapy including, but not limited to, Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools and Reprocessing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Mentoring provides structured relationships where individuals guide and support the personal growth of others. This can also include “Peer Support.” Family engagement refers to families actively participating in treatment efforts for the youth target population.
