Project Possibilities: Helping People in Alabama's Justice System

Project Possibilities

Reducing recidivism through treatment, education and training for the justice involved

This project has provided treatment opportunities for utilizers of opioids and stimulants to decrease rates of recidivism throughout the state of Alabama. Through a combined effort of ADMH, VitAL, community supervision agencies, and peer support specialists, Project Possibilities has worked to provide education and training for professionals in and around the justice system.

Project Possibilities is a collaborative effort initiated by ADMH, VitAL, community supervision agencies and peer support specialist organizations. This project works to develop, implement, and expand a combination of law enforcement diversion programs and provide real-time data collection, analysis, and dissemination. Project Possibilities has worked to incorporate medication-assisted treatment/medications for opioid use disorder, and peer support recovery services into existing systems of service in the State of Alabama, specifically in Calhoun, Dekalb, Etowah, Jefferson, Madison, Mobile, Montgomery, and Walker counties.
