YOUNG OFFENDER REENTRY PROGRAM (YORP)
Through a presidential initiative granted under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), ARS provides
case management and counseling services at all Los Angeles County Probation camps as well as

Atlantic Recovery Services’ Young Offender Reentry Program (YORP) provides residential and
intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment and transitional support for incarcerated juvenile
offenders as they return to their communities from imprisonment.  The project assists juvenile
substance abusers aged 14 to 25 exiting the juvenile justice system and will provide
comprehensive services to at least 296 participants for four years.Participants are recruited
from inside incarceration facilities and are provided with assessment (GAIN-Q) and initial
coordinated case management services while imprisoned.  Upon release participants will enter
either Intensive Outpatient or Residential services tracks where they will receive comprehensive
substance abuse and reentry services.  ARS provides comprehensive coordinated case
management, individualized substance abuse treatment, and system coordination activities
necessary for transitional and reentry support.  Coordinated reentry systems partnerships are in
place for educational services, vocational services, health care,  mental health care,  housing
placement, life skill training, social services and continuing care.

The YORP program has two phases.  Phase one consist of an 8 session transitional preparation
and support program provided inside the juvenile facility and Phase Two consist of a 4-month
treatment program that commences upon a juvenile’s return to the community.  Additionally,
Phase Two has two separate tracks to address the various severity of the substance use
disorder.  Track A Provides residential treatment for those juveniles who demonstrate the need
for more intensive services while track B provides intensive outpatient treatment to those
juveniles who are assessed as benefiting from outpatient treatment.
