Improving Recovery Support Services for People with Substance Use Disorders, and Returning
from Jail or Prison. Each Community of Practice (CoP) will bring together selected
teams for an intensive learning, strategic planning, and implementation process to
address local issues and needs within their topic area. Each CoP will engage subject-matter
experts and will facilitate peer-to-peer learning and information sharing. A unique
blend of onsite and virtual methods will offer each team an intimate and collaborative
environment in which to learn and complete its work while providing a virtual forum
to share with other communities and receive an array of technical assistance from
subject-matter experts across the country. Each Community of Practice (CoP) will bring
