SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Crouse Health plans to start a new program that seeks to help young men with substance-abuse disorders who have been arrested for non-violent offenses.
Crouse Health’s chemical-dependency treatment services has started a new partnership with the Syracuse Community Treatment Court to help young men in the age range of 18 to 25, according to a news release Crouse Health issued Wednesday.
The organizations are using a federal grant of $853,000 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to pay for the program, Crouse Health said.
