RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-623-2 with Harmonic Solutions, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2021, to amend Contract #74-623-1 to increase the payment limit by $27,148, from $1,190,143 to a new payment limit of $1,217,291, with no change in the term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional budgeted expenditures of up to $27,148 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Drug Medi-Cal Realignment revenues. (Rate increase)


BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Harmonic Solutions, LLC., since January 2021. This contract meets the social needs of the 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.  
  
On July 13, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-623-1 with Harmonic Solutions, LLC., in an amount not to exceed $1,190,143 to provide methadone treatment services through its Methadone Maintenance Clinics Program (Medi-Cal Drug Abuse Treatment Services) for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.  
  
Approval of Amendment #74-623-2 will allow the contractor to increase the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) approved the rate increase to be retroactive to July 1, 2021 and will allow the contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contra Costa County residents will not receive additional methadone maintenance treatment services needed to provide them an opportunity to achieve sobriety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
