[music] the mission of the new start program is to provide treatment opportunities for incarcerated males in the orange county jail system. the program is designed to treat them while they are in custody and continue their treatment into the community at whatever level of care it is that they need for at least 1 year postcustody. the phoenix house provides that treatment. they provide continuing care, a group counseling. they provide fellowship. basically an all-encompassing kind of program from beginning to end, which really enables a person a really, really good shot at making it. what makes this project unique from other projects in southern california is it is an in-custody program, but there is a continuum of care once someone is released from custody, and there is a team that works with these individuals when they are in custody and then follows up outside. it also includes family members. so that is the very important piece of this. once they begin to realize there is a possibi
