  • Recovery support program
    The site has implemented the Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program, which provides access to peers, licensed counselors, reentry services, and trauma-informed care for those suffering from SUD.

  • Comprehensive community support
    The HARP program stresses the importance of family involvement in recovery and provides program participants with comprehensive support during and after release from incarceration.

  • Hiring navigators and case workers
    The site will provide the experience and process to mentees on hiring navigators and case workers. The navigators employed at Chesterfield County are individuals with lived experience and can connect with patients on a personal level.

  • Processes and protocols
    The site maintains community prescriptions and does new inductions just before release. However, Chesterfield County is reviewing its processes and protocols for administering new inductions of all medications at intake. It expects to implement the new process upon completion of the review process.
