She assumed this role in July 2021 and Ms. West oversees the Recovery While Incarcerated (RWI) treatment as well as promotes a culture that is inclusive, culturally responsive, and accessible for the incarcerated population and IDOC staff.
Ms. West has worked with the incarcerated population since 2013, and previously served as an Addiction Recovery Specialist managing a case load of clients and instructing groups, then as the Director of Addiction Recovery at New Castle Correctional Facility where she managed the Minimum-Security Facility, the General Population Facility, the Maximum-Security Facility, and the Mental Health Facility. During that time, she worked to minimize the stigma associated with individuals seeking treatment for substance use.
As the Director of Addiction Recovery Services for the State, she began to focus on expansion of services and treatment opportunities to the incarcerated population. This was done through re-writing policy and working to change the culture of Addiction Recovery Services to be accepted as a medical treatment.
