Grand Ave. Reentry Services
Phoenix Oasis is a nonprofit organization. Our main purpose is to provide you with the support services needed to have a successful reentry back into society. Once you decide to come to Phoenix Oasis, you will be assigned a case manager. The adjustment of returning back to society can be pretty intense at most. Many are faced with challenging situations. For a successful reentry, history shows it’s important to develop a well-thought-out strategy and plan so that you can be well-prepared for any difficult circumstances that you may encounter. Using a specialized assessment, your case manager will implement a comprehensive individualized reentry plan specifically designed for you. Below are some of the support services you will receive at the Phoenix Oasis Grand Avenue location.
HOUSING: SINGLE ROOM/UNIT
To help support your reentry adjustment there will be 60 private studio-type units available to live in along with 60 two-person studio-type units. Coming out of prison and getting your life back together takes a lot of focus and concentration. Doubling up with another person can sometimes interfere with that needed focus for your transition. Incentive Single Room Unit: Single-man units are available as an incentive to clients who are program compliant, current with program fees, have secured/maintained employment, and have negative UAs. These rooms will be available at no additional cost as an incentive for those who meet the criteria and are available at the program director's discretion.

They will provide you with many job sources who are hiring and also help you with your resume. Your first two weeks will be program fee-free. However, thereafter program fees will be $20 per day, $140 per week.
MAT PROGRAM SERVICES:
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies for the treatment of substance use disorders. For those with an opioid use disorder (OUD), medication addresses the physical difficulties that one experiences when one stops taking opioids. Our Physicians and counselors will specifically tailor a MAT services treatment plan for you. The medication relieves withdrawal symptoms while counseling promotes positive behavior and lifestyle change. When the cravings and withdrawal symptoms stop, people who are struggling with addiction have time to focus on long-term goals, remission, and recovery.

Your assigned CM or CPSS will contact you right away and start supporting your pre-release. They will assist you with identifying needed documents such as ID, Social Security card, birth certificate, and highschool diploma or GED, and whatever else you need for your transition.
TRANSPORTATION AND CLOTHING:
Transportation from the gate to our facility is available on a case-by-case basis. If circumstances prevent us from providing transportation, we work closely with DOC to provide a prepaid bus ticket or ensure that DOC will provide courtesy transport to Phoenix. Transportation staff is always available for transport from the parole office or bus station to our facility. If you do not have family support for clothing, let your assigned support staff know this in advance and we will have clothing waiting for you.

CURRICULUM:
Phoenix Oasis uses a specialized evidence-based assessment and IOP curriculum that is specifically designed for individuals who have a history of substance use along with incarceration. It targets criminogenic needs that have affected an individual’s life. Criminogenic needs are factors in a person's life that are related to recidivism. Criminogenic needs include antisocial behavior, antisocial personality, criminal thinking, criminal associates, dysfunctional family, employment/education, leisure/recreation, and substance abuse or alcohol addiction.
RED LIGHT THERAPY SUANA:
Red light therapy sauna will be offered at this location. Red light therapy is a new technology that has been developed to improve overall health and reduce stress. Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin in the body while also improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Other benefits are increased energy, better sleep, improved skin, and reduced stress levels. Additionally, the infrared sauna flushes out toxins, improves cardiovascular function, and fights chronic fatigue.
