Community Based Mental Health and Substance Abuse Support

Participants work with staff on practical stabilization goals from staying connected to medical appointments to securing shelter and building daily routines. Treatment includes wellness activities, enrichment opportunities, and basic support.

Wraparound Supports for Stability and Recovery

KISRA organizes its services under a HEAL framework which stands for Health, Employment, Asset Development, and Learning. By linking health programming with job readiness, financial capability, and educational supports KISRA helps reduce relapse risk and improve overall quality of life for clients and families.

We know that substance users have a better chance at recovery when basic needs are met. We commend treatment centers that assist their clients in meeting basic needs in addition to substance use and mental health treatment.
