administer sanctions and incentives according to participant progress through the program. Services for program
participants may include drug treatment support, random drug testing, mental health services, judicial and law
enforcement supervision, family reunification assistance, housing services and employment support. Participants will
be closely monitored through case managers, treatment providers, law enforcement, and the judge to ensure

Court-case managers, who will explain the reentry court process, build rapport, conduct an initial intake, gather risk
assessments from either probation or parole, and work with the Drug Court Program Coordinator to develop
recommendations for individual treatment and support plans. The Reentry Court Collaborative will, similar to
already-established drug and reentry courts in the State, implement the Ten Key Components and corresponding
evidence-based Program Principles of Drug Courts.

Court as part the Reentry Court Collaborative Project to allow participants to receive intake and screenings,
individual and group counseling in outpatient and residential substance abuse treatment through September 30, 2014.
