The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (IDHS/DASA), will build on infrastructure development activities that initially implemented and sustained through a State Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Coordination award and a State Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination award. This grant will support an enhancement and expansion of the Illinois statewide adolescent SUD infrastructure and evidence-based treatment implementation services and activities to include a focus on youth between 18 and 25 years of age in Illinois. Funds will also be used to enhance the state's treatment infrastructure that is available to this target population. The Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) coupled with Assertive Community Care (ACC) will be implemented as an evidence-based service model for clinical services provided to admitted transitional aged youth. At least 400 unduplicated male and female youth between 18 and 25 years of age will be admitted to the enhanced treatment services over the three years of SAMHSA/CSAT funding. The Chestnut Health Systems, Lighthouse Institute, Bloomington Office will be responsible for staff training, certification, and model fidelity monitoring services in relation to implementation of the coupled A-CRA/ACC service model. The Chestnut Health Systems, Lighthouse Institute, Chicago Office will be responsible for CSAT Data Collection Instrument (DCI) administration and reporting, to include six-month follow-up interviews with admitted transitional aged youth. The Great Lakes Addiction Technology Transfer Center (GLATTC) will be responsible for training and technical assistance in support of the proposed infrastructure enhancements. A performance measurement plan identifies the process and outcome questions that will be addressed in monitoring and assessing the progress of the project in achieving its stated goals and objectives. A total of $800,000 is requested each year.
