The Superior Court of California, County of Solano proposes to enhance its existing Adult DrugCourts with new tracks to serve two specific subpopulations: a co-occurring disorders (COD) track to serve participants with both a mental health diagnosis and a substance use disorder diagnosis, and a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) track to serve participants addicted to opioids. The program enhancement will serve100 unduplicated clients over the life of the grant. This "Solano Integrated Treatment Services" project will serve non-violent adult offenders of all ethnicities in the existing Adult Drug Courts located at the courthouses in Fairfield and Vallejo. Our current drug court model does not adequately meet the needs of our two proposed subpopulations as they are in need of specific medical services and/or integrated treatment. Traditional approaches currently utilized may not be efficacious for the COD population and other remedies must be offered. The target population to be served by the COD track includes male and female adult residents of Solano County who have an active criminal case, are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, and have a moderate to severe mental illness diagnosis. The target population to be served by the MAT track includes male and female clients addicted to opioid drugs, including prescription and illicit drugs. The target populations of both tracks are of any race, ethnicity and sexual orientation who are high risk and who have high needs, as determined by evidence-based assessment tools. The goals of the project are: 1) to improve access to integrated mental health and substance use treatment services for participants with a COD; 2) to improve access to medication-assisted treatment to participants addicted to opioids; and 3) to build drug court program infrastructure in Solano County. The Solano project will employ several evidence-based practices in these two new tracks.
