This alternative to incarceration program will offer residential
substance abuse treatment to male felony offenders in the Bronx
and Manhattan courts, emphasizing court recruitment
to be followed by enhanced residential substance
abuse treatment services.
Following an initial assessment, Palladia’s
ATI clients will be placed in one of three Palladia treatment settings:
Esperanza, Parole Transitional Program (PTP), or Starhill, or they
will be referred to an affiliated organization for services.
After treatment is complete, they will
also be encouraged to take advantage our aftercare services.
Each program will offer a wide range of services,
as well as referrals to additional services like medical care
or
job
training, in the hopes that increased stability will reduce
and prevent recidivism. Palladia has designed additional direct
services like housing,
reentry
and
gender specific groups, education/vocational training, and employment
services to enhance the already existing services needed for this
specific population.
All clients determined eligible for participation and admitted to a Palladia
treatment or residential program will receive case management, housing,
vocational/educational, family/reentry, substance abuse treatment, mental
health, and health services.
