RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–243–53 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $700,067, to provide drug abuse prevention and treatment services for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2013, in an amount not to exceed $350,033.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 63% by Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Set-Aside grants, 16% by Federal Drug Medi-Cal (DMC), 16% by State DMC, and 5% by County Juvenile Probation. (Rate increases)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment and prevention programs to help clients to achieve and maintain sobriety and to experience the associated benefits of self-sufficiency, family reunification, cessation of criminal activity and productive engagement in the community.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 16, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–243–52 with R.E.A.C.H. Project for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment services at Contractor’s facilities throughout East County.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–243–53 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2013.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s Clients will not get the alcohol and other drugs treatment services that they need and may be a risk for incarceration.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This prevention and treatment program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include addicted youth being provided an opportunity to prevent or recover from the effects of alcohol or other drug use, become self sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.
