The new program provides peer coaching for Delaware County inmates and job placement and mental health and addiction treatment after release.
The Division of Mental Health and Addiction, part of the Family and Social Services Administration, on Thursday announced a pilot program to address mental health and substance use disorders for Hoosiers incarcerated while awaiting trial.
Nearly all eligible inmates at the Delaware County jail are taking part in a peer coaching state pilot program. Five Indiana counties are trialing the method aimed at helping substance abuse disorders and supporting people during and after incarceration.
The addiction recovery and reentry program will soon come to Delaware County, thanks to a $472,000 grant from Mental Health America Indiana and the Indiana Forensic Support Services.
