Addiction Transitional Case Management

ATCM’s ensure individuals have linkages to appropriate addiction-related services and supports upon discharge. Together, the client and the ATCM will work to create and implement a plan of care for enhancing stability and meeting the client’s most urgent addiction-related needs.
