Summary :
Providing substance use treatment and support for young offenders reentering communities following incarceration is a critical public health and safety need. In order to address this need, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)1, awarded community based organizations with three-year grants to provide substance abuse treatment and recovery support to recently released, formerly incarcerated young offenders. Homeboy Industries, Inc., in collaboration with Behavioral Health Services and the RAND Corporation, was awarded one of these grants for its “Substance Use Treatment and Reentry (STAR)” program.2 RAND’s role on the project was to evaluate the STAR program. This report should provide Homeboy Industries, Behavioral Health Services, and the CSAT with information about the performance of the project over the threeyear period.
