BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population in that it provides a multi-disciplinary treatment program to adults who need active psychiatric treatment, including medication support and individual and group therapy services, as an alternative to hospitalization at a State Hospital.

On June 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–143–22 with California Psychiatric Transitions Incorporated for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, for the provision of residential care and mental health services to severely emotionally disturbed adults.

Approval of Contract #74–143–23 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s most acutely seriously mentally ill clients will not receive the inpatient psychiatric treatment that they need from this Contractor, and may require hospitalization at a State Hospital.
