Behavioral Health Resource Directory
Having a reentry plan is vitally important!
People returning to the community after incarceration can benefit greatly from a reentry plan. The adage, “if you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time” (Zig Ziglar) is valid concerning reentry success.
Connecting to behavioral health resources (mental health and addiction treatment) can be a critical piece of an individual’s successful reentry plan. Finding the right treatment or service intended to reach a reentry goal is sometimes a challenge.
To help, the Juneau Reentry Coalition has added a searchable the Behavioral Health Resource Directory to its website, offering an overview of available treatment programs, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), supportive housing and employment assistance, residential and outpatient treatment, etc.
Searches can be made by topic, for example “outpatient treatment” to review all the Juneau providers that offer that service. Or by provider, for example “Rainforest Recovery” to review all the services provided by that provider.
