BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24–429-50 will allow the Contractor to provide services to additional clients through June 30, 2011.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
