Project Parent, Adolescent and Recovery Treatment Services (PARTS) - Special Health Resources for Texas (SHRT) has identified a need in the community to enhance and expand comprehensive treatment, early intervention, and recovery support services among adolescents, ages 12-18, with a substance abuse disorder (SUD) and/or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorder (COD) and their families. SHRT serves Northeast Texas, a semi-rural to rural area, including the combined Texarkana and Tyler Health Services Delivery Areas. The regional socioeconomic characteristics reflect household dynamics that are strongly related to higher risk of youth substance use and mental health problems. The disparities among youth in East Texas in risk factors, cost, access, and impact of substance use and mental health compared to the state and the country significantly support the need for integrated youth treatment in the region. Project PARTS will accomplish the following measurable goals: 1) By December 30, 2018, SHRT will improve current infrastructure, including workforce development necessary for delivering a coordinated integrated treatment model for adolescents. 2) By September 2023, Project PARTS will conduct 1,500 (25-monthly) engagement, recruitment, and linkage contacts targeting the population of focus. 3) By September 2023, Project PARTS will enroll a total of 450 participants into the enhanced/expanded treatment model 4) By September 2023, Project PARTS will provide 450 adolescent participants with trauma-focused SUD and COD coordinated integrated treatment interventions to include Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Tobacco Cessation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement. 5) By the end of each contract year, META Consultants will assess program effectiveness, ensure quality of services provided, identify successes, and implement needed improvements. Staffing plan will include a Project Director, a Youth Service/Recovery Support Coordinator, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Family Coordinator, and a Lead Evaluator. SHRT will implement a thorough evaluation plan including data collection, management, and reporting to track performance and outcome measures.
