SPECIAL PROJECTS
ATR+ Initiative
Access to Recovery Plus, (ATR+) is a grant funded pilot initiative, delivers a structured pathway to employment for individuals with substance use disorder who are reentering the community from incarceration. ATR Care Coordinators provide individualized support to ATR+ participants through our customized 3-step career service model. This model focuses on closing the digital literacy gap and providing formerly incarcerated individuals with the opportunity to build the fundamental job readiness skills needed to thrive in the workforce. Identified reentry partners in Boston, Lowell and Holyoke/Springfield can submit referrals for participants to access this unique, employment focused recovery support service.
*ATR+ is funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Correction and Massachusetts Probation Service.
