Transforming Addiction Treatment
Discover how New York is leading the way in integrating comprehensive addiction treatment within its correctional facilities.
This episode features insight from Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck and Farnham Family Services Clinic Director Mark Raymond. They discuss the challenges faced, the importance of providing continuity of care, and how New York’s mandate for medication-assisted treatment is changing lives and reducing stigma surrounding addiction.
As more facilities adopt these changes, we may increasingly witness a shift in how society perceives and treats addiction—emphasizing recovery instead of punishment has the potential to transform individual lives and entire communities.

We've got examples where we have people who've been discharged and released from incarceration, who have not went back to jail, who started treatment with us, who are rebuilding connections with their families, who have obtained employment, who are seeing their counselors, and I don't know what's going to happen for everybody or the future, but these are extremely impressive success stories.
