Re-Entry Toolkit
Step 6: Health & Wellness
Health & Wellness
Take care of your body and mind. You deserve support and healing.
Find a primary care provider
Community health centers offer low-cost or free care regardless of insurance status. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) cannot turn you away.
Find Healthcare Resources →Access mental health support
Re-entry is stressful. Therapy, counseling, and peer support groups can help you process trauma and build resilience.
Find Mental Health Resources →Connect with substance use support
If you are in recovery, find local AA/NA meetings, a sponsor, or a treatment program. SAMHSA's helpline is 1-800-662-4357.
Find Substance Support →Apply for health insurance
You may qualify for Medicaid, ACA marketplace plans, or state programs. Many states allow enrollment upon release.
Establish healthy routines
Regular sleep, meals, and exercise make a huge difference. Start small and build from there.
Find a peer support group
Connecting with others who have been through similar experiences can be incredibly powerful. Look for re-entry support groups in your area.
