The program provides case management services to help meet Returning Citizens’ basic needs and support successful community reentry.

This condition is best treated through a range of services provided by caring professionals, along with support from family, support systems, and the community.

In addition to substance use disorder clinical services, GLRC also offers Peer Recovery and Recovery Housing.
