RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Amendment #24-243-56 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2014, to amend Contract #24-243-55, to increase the payment limit by $26,249, from $712,988 to a new payment limit of $739,237, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 60% by Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Set-Aside Grants; 18% Drug Medi-Cal Realignment; 18% Federal Drug Medi-Cal; 4% Probation Department. (Rate increase)

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 September 23, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-243-55 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment services at Contractor’s facilities throughout East County, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014. In October 2014, the County received new instructions on drug medical reimbursement of County administrative expenses.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-243-56 will allow the Contractor to provide additional drug abuse prevention and treatment services through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive additional substance abuse treatment services from Contractor, resulting in an overall reduction of services to a community at 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.
