Program Example
Aftercare Planning in Health Services, North Carolina Department of Corrections Division of Prisons
The North Carolina Department of Corrections collaborates with a host of community-based organizations to ensure that health care for every individual who is incarcerated and who has been identified as mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and/or medically needy continues when he or she is released from prison to the community. Approximately six months prior to the individual's release, the individual and social worker (along with other members of the institutional treatment team) complete an aftercare plan to coordinate the individual's mental health, medical care, and other post-release social service needs. The community-based partners involved in this collaboration include Duke University Medical Center, East Carolina School of Medicine, and the University of North Carolina hospital system, the Veterans Administration, community faith-based organizations, Alcoholics Anonymous, and Narcotics Anonymous.
