Anne Arundel County Adult Drug Court Treatment Initiative - The Anne Arundel County Adult Drug Court Treatment Initiative proposes to expand and enhance treatment and recovery support services for the Anne Arundel County Adult Drug Treatment Courts. This proposal will describe the need for additional funding, research to support the drug court treatment model, the organizational structure that will manage the grant and the projected milestones with timelines. Adult Treatment Court participants with substance use and co-occurring disorders, enrolled in Anne Arundel County District and Circuit Adult Drug Treatment Courts are the target population for this funding. The Anne Arundel County Department of Health (AADOH) has been and continues to be an integral part of the County's Drug Court Team, providing funding, case management, assessment and technical assistance. The AADOH manages its grants through the services of the Department's Finance Office in cooperation with the Behavioral Health Bureau's Community Treatment Services Program (CTS). The Community Treatment Services Program helps to reduce barriers to treatment and recovery by coordinating clinical assessments, referral, treatment and recovery services for County residents affected by substance abuse. It is projected that 30 to 40 Drug Treatment Court participants will receive substance abuse treatment via SAMHSA grant funds. Of this number, ninety (90%) of the participants are expected to engage in substance abuse treatment. Sixty-five percent (65%) will remain in treatment for 90 days or more. Eighty five percent (85%) will not commit new crimes and seventy-five percent (75%) will reduce their illegal substance use. We expect fifty percent (50%) of the participants will complete Drug Treatment Court successfully. Over the lifetime of the project, it is expected that 75 to 100 Drug court participants will have received SAMHSA grant funding to support their treatment and recovery support service needs.
