The Benton County Adult Treatment Drug Court (BCATDC) proposes to collaborate with Decision Point, Inc. and Dayspring Behavioral Health to provide an Integrated Substance Abuse and Mental Health Treatment Program to provide enhanced behavioral health services to participants of the BCATDC located in Northwest Arkansas. This is a service enhancement project, primarily designed to enhance the quality and intensity of the treatment and recovery support services available to BCATDC clients with the most complex problems. The overall purpose of this project is to increase accessibility to acute care services for drug treatment court clients most in need of intensive services thus providing a fully integrated continuum of care. Because this service enhancement project would result in filling the current gaps in the continuum of care for drug court clients, it will improve the outcomes of those with the most severe and complex substance abuse problems. This program will specifically target individuals least likely to succeed with traditional drug court outpatient substance abuse treatment approaches - those with the greatest personal vulnerabilities, problem severity, complexity and chronicity, and fewest natural supports. Because of the characteristics of the substance dependent individuals we are targeting, we expect this to include high numbers of veterans (history of trauma), repeat offenders (legal complications as a result of drug/alcohol dependence) and individuals with serious mental health problems (high problem complexity). We anticipate serving 60 clients in year one, 65 clients in year 2, and 70 clients in year 3 for a total of 195 clients over the three year funding period.
