Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-243-60 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2017, to amend Contract #24-243-59, to increase the payment limit by $58,714, from $1,101,875 to a new payment limit of $1,160,589, to provide additional drug abuse prevention and treatment services to youth and adults in East County, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 8% by Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants, 43% by Drug Medi-Cal Realignment, 43% by Federal Drug Medi-Cal, and 6% by the Probation Department. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-243-59 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment services at Contractor’s facilities throughout East County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-243-60 will allow the contractor to provide additional drug abuse prevention and treatment services to include both Drug Medi-Cal and SAPT Block Grant funded programs, through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, individuals will not receive additional alcohol and drug prevention and treatment services they need to maintain sobriety and reduce risk factors.

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.
