RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-610 with WestCare California, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,028,824, to provide substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and detoxification services for Contra Costa County residents in West County, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 54% Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant, and 46% Federal Medi-Cal.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance use disorder treatment services, so that men and women, including women with children, are provided an opportunity 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)

Under Contract #74-610, the Contractor will provide substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and detoxification treatment services for County residents in West County who are referred through the Behavioral Health Access Line, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Contract is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive substance use disorder treatment from Contractor, resulting in an overall reduction of services to a community at risk for incarceration.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse prevention program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” community outcomes by providing individual, group, and family counseling; substance abuse education; rehabilitation support services; and substance abuse prevention services. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge about the impact of addiction; decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; increased use of community-based resources; and increased school and community support for youth and parents in recovery.
