Why would you recommend these programs?
I would recommend the Recovery High School program because it helps work towards their recovery and also meet the state requirements for awarding a high school diploma even after the individual dropped out. Recovery programs help families to learn how to live with the client and give them moral support as they enter the recovery lifestyle. These outreach programs also help prevent the occurrence of substance abuse disorder in adulthood and can possibly prevent other co-occurring disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety (DeVerteuil, Wilton & Klassen, 2017). Recovery-based high schools provide prosocial peers and activities, nurturing of relationships, positive recovery mentors, school commitment and connectedness as well as monitoring and supervision.

What is Hill's Three Stage Model of helping skills? How is it applicable to working with inmates?
The Hill’s Three Stage Model of helping skills involves three stages namely exploration, insight and action. The exploration stage helps clients explore their feelings and thoughts. The second stage helps them understand the reason for their thoughts and feelings while the action stage focuses on helping them make changes in their lives (Joo, Hill & Kim, 2017). The model can be applied to inmates helping them through rehabilitation so that they can be ready to re-enter the society. This model can help inmates take control of their stress, thoughts and emotions and deal with the anger and despair that led them to opt for crime.

Do case managers have the power to influence reentry or client success? Why or why not?
Typically, the role of a case manager is to conduct assessment, monitoring, planning, advocacy and connecting the client to rehabilitation and support services. They can therefore influence the reentry or success of the client as they are involved in illness management as well as relapse prevention. They are a big part of the client’s life because they play client advocate, educator and assessor. For instance, they are involved in activities such as facilitating referrals, discharge planning and coordination of care among the team members, monitoring progress and resource management (Kathol, Knutson & Dehnel, 2016). These are activities that are tailored towards promoting the client’s success and reentry to society.
