RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #24-243-59 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,101,875 to provide drug abuse prevention and treatment services to youth and adults in East County, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 69% Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Set-Aside Grants; 11% Drug Medi-Cal Realignment; 11% Federal Drug Medi-Cal; 9% 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 July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-243-58 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment services at Contractor’s facilities throughout East County.

Approval of Contract #24-243-59 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive substance abuse treatment 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.
