RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74–286–11 with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,326,585, to provide day treatment and mental health services to severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI) adults, for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 44% by Federal Financial Participation, 26% by State Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), and 30% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing transitional residential treatment, rehabilitative services, medication support, and mental health services to SPMI adult clients at its Crestwood Healing Center.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 15, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–286–9 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-286-10) with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, for the provision of day treatment and mental health services to SPMI adults.

Due to lengthy negotiations, the Division was not able to process this Contract in a timely manner. During the time of negotiations, Contractor continued to provide services in good faith to County Clients so as to not interrupt services to Clients in need.

If this contract is not approved, County’s SPMI clients will have reduced access to the mental health treatment services that they require.
