Adults

The Connections Project aims to improve continuity of care for adult inmates with histories of problematic drug use who are being released into the community.

Adolescents

The Community Integration Team is a pre and post release program offering continuum of care to recently released adolescents, with an emerging or serious mental illness and/ or problematic drug and alcohol use or dependence. This service is offered to young people in the Orana, Riverina and Central Coast regions.
