Executive Summary: Faith-Based Substance Abuse Transitional Housing Programs

Faith-Based Substance Abuse Transitional Housing Programs (FBSATH) assist released inmates by providing substance abuse re-entry and relapse prevention services, transitional housing, and other support services. The program also provides housing, three meals a day, electricity, access to local telephone service, job placement assistance, and other transitional services.  The target population for this program is recently released inmates with histories of substance use/abuse problems, particularly those who have completed a Department in-prison or community-based drug treatment program, and are in need of transitional housing and services upon their release from incarceration. Program participants do not have to be under Department supervision to participate. Enrollment in the program is strictly voluntary, however, all enrolled program participants are required to participate in program activities and abide by program rules. Program participants may not be discharged for failure to participate in faith-based components of the program.
