BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance use disorder 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 30, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–174–32, (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-174-33) with Bi-Bett, to provide substance use disorder treatment services for County residents referred through the Behavioral Health Access Line, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
