Project Summary Project Title: Bridgeway Substance Use Services-SAMHSA Treatment Drug Courts Bridgeway has been the primary service provider of substance use services in our communities for over 25 years and has partnered with our Knox and Warren County Drug Courts since their inception. Intervention and substance use services are offered in a five county area (Knox, Henry, Warren, Henderson and McDonough) in West Central Illinois, but for this grant, we are focusing on the populations in Knox and Warren Counties due to the strong Drug Court Programs established in both. This grant will assist us in expanding substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services in our existing drug courts. It will also ensure that individuals in our rural communities are getting the treatment they need while also reducing stigma that surrounds substance use, treatment and recovery. The target population of this grant proposal is an extensive rural area in north central Illinois, the counties of Knox and Warren. This area is widespread with consistent issues related to accessing needed services due to proximity and transportation. This area is a railway hub, located immediately east of the Mississippi River. Agriculture and farming are the primary sources of economy as the manufacturing opportunities have dramatically declined over the past 20 years. Due to being a railway hub and in such close proximity to the Mississippi, there are potential benefits of having daily and on-going visitors but also comes the influx of dangerous and/or illegal activity, realities which increase the risk factors drastically for these communities. The economic toll of addiction in the state of Illinois is estimated to be greater than $6 billion, with a small percentage of individuals actively seeking assistance for this need/issue. Bridgeway’s substance use services are committed to the overall agency mission of providing an array of diversified, measurable, high-quality services to individuals and families in need. These services are designed to assist and empower people in maximizing their potential; for personal development and growth in all areas of functioning by preventing, reducing and/or eliminating alcohol and drug use issues. Bridgeway’s substance use services are offered with the hope and belief that programming will adequately address the needs of those individuals seeking substance use treatment services. In this regard, Bridgeway’s substance use services offer a variety of services to both adults and adolescents. Bridgeway is confident that with this orientation, they are able to deliver effective treatment interventions to individuals in a professional manner, addressing their personal, individualized needs. Specific services offered include: Evaluation/Intake, Individual Counseling, Outpatient Group Therapy, Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT), Women’s Services, Adolescent Services, Insight Program, Relapse Prevention Services, Co-Occurring Services, 2 ROSC (Recovery Oriented Systems of Care) and Peer Recovery Support Services. Our population of focus are adults with a history or alcohol/substance use disorder and/or co-occurring disorders, whose substance use has caused disruption in their lives and involvement in the legal system, prompting referral to either the Knox or Warren County Drug Court Program. For this project, as the service provider, Bridgeway will be partnering specifically with the Knox County Drug Court, established in 2007 and the Warren County Drug Court, established in 2019. While Knox and Warren Counties do not currently have sober living facilities, Bridgeway is also partnering with Oxford House, a national community-based model and approach to addiction recovery, which provides an independent, supportive, and sober living environment.
