RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-610-2 with WestCare California, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2020, to amend Contract #74-610 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-610-1) to increase the payment limit by $291,285, from $2,028,824 to a new payment limit of $2,320,109, with no change in the term of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded by 57% Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant, and 43% Federal Medi-Cal. (No Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-610 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-610-1), with WestCare California, Inc., to provide substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and detoxification treatment services for County residents in West County who are referred through the Behavioral Health Access Line, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Amendment #74-610-2 will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through September 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive substance use disorder treatment from Contractor, resulting in an overall reduction of services to a community at risk for incarceration.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse prevention program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” community outcomes by providing individual, group, and family counseling; substance abuse education; rehabilitation support services; and substance abuse prevention services. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge about the impact of addiction; decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; increased use of community-based resources; and increased school and community support for youth and parents in recovery.
