The Birmingham Municipal Drug Court Treatment Project will enhance treatment services for individuals enrolled in the Birmingham, Alabama Municipal Drug Court. The project will serve 100 clients per year. The population of focus will be low-income and/or uninsured adults with a substance use disorder or co-occurring substance use and mental disorder. Aletheia House, a community-based nonprofit organization with more than forty years of experience, will provide the treatment services. The project will use evidence-based practices including: cognitive behavioral therapy; integrated services for individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental disorders; medication-assisted treatment (MAT); recovery support services; tobacco cessation services; and services that address the specific needs of returning veterans and their family members. The project's goals include: 1) clients will decrease their use of drugs and alcohol; 2) clients with co-occurring substance use and mental disorders will experience a decrease in behavioral health problems; 3) clients who are assessed as being appropriate for MAT, and who choose to use MAT, will experience a decrease in behavioral health problems; 4) clients will increase their use of recovery support services, 5) clients will decrease their use of tobacco; and 6) returning veterans and their family members will experience a decrease in behavioral health problems.
