  Many  people who are homeless and jobless have had issues with the criminal justice system . How to go about restoring them to useful participation in the community  will require working with the record issues they have with the prison system in the most part , training and capacity building [skills ] and finding jobs .

     Many of them are homeless and would need housing .

    The place of prevention and treatment of substance use disorders victims was noted .

Our recovery work address the issues in three mayor categories .
  A Policy , prevention and health promotion .
​
  B Healing phase , Biopsychosociospiritual [BPSS] or integrative approach . Example replacement treatment with Methadone.
​
  C   Restoration phase or maintenance .
         Justice , Capacity building of skills/jobs
          Financial management ,     relationship building .

Drug courts that favor drug treatments and community restorative justice are doing really great work . 

Great every day people working for the recovery industry get to make the drug court hall f fame . 

The national association of drug courts professionals include judges , prosecutors , parole officers , mental health practitioners , public health workers and corporate members all involved in making the drug courts  and Veteran treatment courts a success 

The recovery film festival and the Global health film festival have resources that are used in communicating great aspects of stories of  those in recovery and other issues related to the work . Lots of the films have a lot to teach practitioners .

RI Veterans Treatment court veteran mentor program works , says William Delaney , volunteer mentor 

The is need for more Veteran mentors to be trained , and NADCP continues to do that .
