RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #28-912 from The Rand Corporation, including indemnification, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $44,801 to collaborate with Contra Costa Health Services Choosing Change Program, to study the impact of a psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to treating patients in recovery for the period September 2, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $44,801 payable to the County. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) will collaborate with The Rand Corporation in planning, training, implementing, evaluating and analyzing data for the Integrated Support Persons Into Recovery (Inspire) study. The study will test whether engaging the patient’s significant other in an evidence based psychosocial intervention, community reinforcement approach and family training improves patient’s engagement and retention in Office-Based Buprenorphine-Naloxone Therapy (OBOT) compared to patients only receiving OBOT. The study will take place within Contra Costa Choosing Change Clinics and will involve clinic personnel, administrators, medical and behavioral health providers and other County staff.

Under Grant Agreement #28-912, funding will allow County to study the impact of having patient’s support person engaged in recovery services for the period September 2, 2019 through September 30, 2020. The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor for claims arising out of Contractor’s performance under this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Grant Agreement is not approved, County will not be allowed to participate in the study on the impact of having a patient’s support person engaged in recovery services.
