This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse 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.

On July 21, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-174-21 with Bi-Bett for the provision of substance abuse prevention, treatment, and testing services, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, persons referred through the justice system will not receive the drug and substance abuse treatment services needed to maintain sobriety.
