Substance Abuse and Corrections Service
Here to help you find your way back.
Life can be filled with struggle and for some the circumstances of their lives lead to dangerous and unhealthy situations, drug abuse, crime and incarceration.
Catholic Social Services is committed to helping people recovering from substance abuse and those trying to re-enter the community after being released from a correctional facility. Men and women on day parole returning to the community from federal correctional institutions receive support and counselling in the Elpida residential program. The Agency’s parole supervision program also helps these men and women make the positive decisions they need to complete their parole. Men struggling with addictions trying to reconstruct their lives will find the safe place and support they need at Alpha House.
