  A Fresh Start is a new program that has started in Northampton County Jail. This program includes education sessions about addiction and intensive case management to reduce recidivism rate at the local Department of Corrections. Individuals who meet criteria will obtain the Vivitrol shot and be assigned an Intensive Case Manager to meet their specific needs, while they are incarcerated and when they are released. This was a grant funded program.
