A Bridge From Incarceration to Community
Pathway to Change is a reentry program built on a simple belief: that people in recovery deserve real support the moment they decide to turn things around — not after they’ve already struggled to find their footing on the outside.
This is what it looks like when a community decides to do things differently.

From the Inside Out
Pathway to Change meets participants where they are — and stays with them every step of the way.
How to Get Started
Pathway to Change serves adults in recovery who are currently incarcerated at Lehigh County Jail. All referrals come exclusively through the jail's case management team — there is no walk-in enrollment for this program.
If you or someone you know is incarcerated at Lehigh County Jail and interested in the program, the first step is to speak with a jail case manager.
Inside
Before release, our team comes to you. Case managers and Certified Recovery Specialists work with participants inside Lehigh County Jail to assess needs, identify barriers, and build a recovery plan — so that when the time comes, you're ready.
In the Community
The work doesn't stop at the door. Once participants are back in the community, Pathway to Change continues providing support — connecting people to housing, benefits, employment resources, sober social events, and the broader Change on Hamilton community.
Real Support. Real People.
Case Management
From housing and medical benefits to SNAP and basic needs, our case managers work alongside participants to clear the path — identifying barriers before release and staying connected once you're back in the community.
Supporting a Loved One
If someone you care about is incarcerated at Lehigh County Jail and struggling with substance use, you don't have to wait and hope. Encourage them to speak with their jail case manager about Pathway to Change — that's the first step toward getting connected to support.
