Southern Ute Indian Tribe Family Treatment Court - Project Abstract Summary – SAMHSA Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Family Treatment Courts The proposed project, Southern Ute Indian Family Treatment Court (SUIFTC), will enhance and strengthen the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s existing efforts to ameliorate the negative impact of alcohol and other substance abuse, including the use of opioids, and co-occurring disorders affecting 80 parents, 80 children, and 8 caregivers within the jurisdiction of the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Court. The Tribal Court in collaboration with Tribal Social Services, and Tribal Health, which includes the Health Clinic and Behavioral Health will implement comprehensive trauma-informed case management for referred families that will include evaluation, assessment, treatment, and wrap- around services. Vocational Rehabilitation and the Tribal Education Department will also be involved in the program. These Tribal Departments have, since inception, shared a long-term working relationship focused on addressing historical trauma and the generational cycles of violence, mental health issues and substance abuse that continue to negatively pervade the culture, families, and community. The Southern Ute Family Treatment Court will address the following: 1)reduce the rate and severity of substance misuse and co-occurring disorders among parents; 2) increase access to extensive and comprehensive treatment and recovery services for parents; 3) increase access to socio-emotional, behavioral and developmental services for their children; 4) provide trauma informed practices and training; 5) increase family reunification and preservation; and 6) improve family functioning through the provision of comprehensive wrap- around services. This effort will address existing gaps in the system for court involved parents who need treatment and provide comprehensive services for impacted children and extended family caregivers. The program will include an exploratory pilot program engaging families with dependency and neglect investigations that have not been filed in the Tribal Court in a preventative approach with court accountability. Based on the successful Tribal Healing to Wellness Court evidence-based model, the SUIFTC integrates case management, co-occurring disorders treatment, peer support, vocational supports, and trauma informed practices into one coordinated delivery approach. In addition to the existing supports with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the SUIFTC will connect with and leverage existing evidence-based community treatment and support services to support resiliency, and “protect the safety and welfare of children while giving parents the tools they need to become sober, responsible caregivers” (Bureau of Justice Assistance & Center for Substance Abuse Treatment [BJA & CSAT], 2004, p. 4). The Southern Ute Tribal Court will serve as the lead for the Southern Ute Indian Family Treatment Court program. The program will expend $1,953,451.27 during the five-year grant period to development and implement the evidence-based family treatment court program. This effort is aligned with the Justice Strategic Initiative and the OJJDP Guidance to States for Family Drug Courts. Estimated number of people to be served as a result of this grant award: 168 (five year grant period)
