Community Oriented Recovery and Empowerment Services (CORE)

Trinity Alliance CORE services provide person-centered and recovery-oriented supports that help  to meet the needs of people who prefer to receive long-term care services and supports in their home or community, rather than in an institutional setting.

Mission: 

CORE Services provide opportunities for eligible adult Medicaid beneficiaries with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders to receive services in their own home or community to support them build skills and self-efficacy that promote and facilitate community participation and independence. 

We provide CORE  services in the following areas: 
  • Family Support & Training (FST)
    Trinity Alliance facilitates family engagement and active participation in the treatment planning process to reinforce life and relationship skills learned throughout the recovery process.
  • Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
    Trinity Alliance supports individuals with compensating for, or eliminating functional challenges and interpersonal and/or environmental barriers associated with their behavioral health goals.
