The Eighth Judicial District Court will partner with the Salvation Army and WestCare Nevada to expand capacity for residential treatment services for our Adult Drug Court clients. The Salvation Army will also offer day treatment programming so that appropriate treatment options are available to participants when residential treatment beds are fully occupied. The Adult Drug Court has approximately 350 active participants. It is estimated that 10% of Adult Drug Court participants require residential treatment while in the program. The population requiring residential treatment tends to consist of individuals with the following characteristics: 1) addicted to heroin and/or methamphetamine; 2) suffering from co-occurring disorders and choosing to self-medicate; and/or 3) living with others who use/abuse alcohol and other drugs. The project goal is to improve the retention rate of Adult Drug Court participants (the percentage of participants who successfully graduate from the program). The measurable objectives are the: 1) Adult Drug Court program retention rate; 2) number of participants placed in residential and/or day treatment programming (tracked annually and for duration of the project). The project strategies are to: 1) Develop service agreements with the Salvation Army and WestCare Nevada, 2) Conduct clinical substance abuse and mental health assessments to determine the level of treatment required, and 3) Provide day-to-day case management duties including treatment compliance monitoring, clinical consultations, and facilitating collaboration between the court, service providers, and other program partners.
