Project Abstract The Colorado 1st Judicial District (JD) Recovery Court (RC) is seeking $1,819,500 in funding (5-year total) to expand services in RC for adult, high-risk/high-need (HRHN), felony offenders with a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). RC will serve 200 unduplicated clients (40 new clients per year). Clients will be in the program for approximately two years. When carryover clients each year are considered, there will be 70-80 participants enrolled at a time. This project will allow RC to implement 1) residential treatment, 2) recovery housing for those entering the Program and following residential treatment, 3) attendance by the RC team at the NADCP Conference each year, 4) free bus tickets to access treatment, medical appointments (including MAT), court hearings, work, etc., 5) expanded peer recovery support services, and 6) funding to assist with the collection and reporting of data. Goal 1: Provide enhanced services (i.e., residential treatment, recovery housing, and peer recovery support services) within the first three months of funding for treatment and recovery residences to improve transitions from sentencing to treatment, from treatment to stable living, and to ultimately improve mental health outcomes. Objective (Obj.) 1.1: Ensure 80% of participants receive treatment appropriate to their ASAM level of care needed within two weeks of sentencing. Obj. 1.2: At least 50% of participants in residential treatment will complete treatment. Obj. 1.3: Provide recovery residence support to 100% of clients in need of such support. Obj. 1.4: Provide enhanced peer recovery support services, starting in the first month of funding through the end of year 5, for 100% of participants to enhance participant recovery and improve life skills and connections with the community. Obj. 1.5: Enroll 200 SUD HRHN participants in RC over five years. Obj. 1.6: At least 60% of participants will graduate from RC. Obj. 1.7: At least 65% of participants will report reduced use, improved mental health, and reduced trauma symptoms. Goal 2: Send RC staff to NADCP Conference yearly to improve competencies of staff and fidelity of programming. Obj. 2.1: NADCP will provide the latest exclusive, practical content on topics for every discipline on the RC team. The RC team will have direct access to the largest group of experts in the fields of treatment, evaluation, supervision, and law. These competencies will allow RC to improve and enhance our current practices for the benefit of our participants. Obj. 2.2: Provide treatment court team tools to ensure RC has access to evidence-based solutions (EBS) and evidence-based practices (EBP) for the Court and its participants. Goal 3: Provide transportation funds for participants to access treatment, medical appointments (including MAT), court hearings, work, and other necessary appointments. Obj 3.1: Each participant will receive one book of bus passes upon sentencing, with individual bus tickets being provided as needed. Bus passes=10 tickets, 55 passes per month. Goal 4: Collect and interpret data to help fill the gaps where services lack to further enhance success in the Program. Obj. 4.1 Required data collection per SAMHSA guidelines with hiring of an evaluation agency. Obj. 4.2 Self-Assessment observation at 6 months and years 2 and 4 and survey at all discharges to help improve procedural justice. Periodic surveys to participants throughout the Program. Obj. 4.3 Peer Review Process at end of years 1, 3, and 5.
