In September 2004, ComALERT joined forces with Brooklyn-based
treatment provider Counseling Service EDNY to expand ComALERT’s
employment-focused outreach for formerly incarcerated
individuals to include on-site substance abuse treatment and
counseling.
ComALERT Counseling Service EDNY (“CSEDNY”) offers OASAS-licensed
outpatient substance abuse treatment services for recently
released Brooklyn parolees. CSEDNY’s staff works directly with
parolees who have a substance abuse treatment mandate as a
condition of release and parole supervision. CSEDNY offers
individual and group therapies, anger management, relapse
prevention and anger management workshops, as well as other
supportive treatment protocols.
Many ComALERT clients have substance abuse issues that
place them in direct contradiction of standard conditional
release mandate, and increase the likelihood that they will
engage in illegal behaviors and return to prison. Thus,
substance abuse treatment and counseling form the basic
framework for the initial three-month enrollment in ComALERT.
In addition to drug counseling and treatment, motivated
clients receive a referral to and preferential placement in the
ComALERT First Step program. First Step provides transitional
employment through the Doe Fund’s Ready, Willing, and Able
employment programs. Other services, such as transitional
housing, in-patient detox, medical care, and mental health
diagnosis and treatment, are available by referral to other
ComALERT partner agencies.
