Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc.

The majority (75%) of the detainees incarcerated at the Madison County Detention Center are male. With that in mind, this project will provide services to assist men with OUD/SUD in successful reentry from the Madison County Detention Center to residence in Madison County. Services will help prevent post-release overdoses. It will focus on service delivery (pre-release and post-release for incarcerated individuals), evaluation and quality improvement, and community outreach and engagement. The activities complement the previous RCORP award by adding direct services and support for individuals affected by opioid use disorder and overdoses, including social services (emergency, basic needs, housing support), employment, and self-sufficiency services to overcome poverty (such as resume development, job searches, and skills development), and recovery services (peer mentoring). The community outreach and engagement component will also work to raise awareness about opioid use disorder and overdose while coordinating with local organizations to share resources. This delivery plan will build on the previous award by expanding services and reducing recidivism.
