NE SALEM, OREGON 97301 503 - 945 -9050 APPLICATION: Supplemental Funds for Drug Addicted Persons APPLICATIONS DUE: September 4, 2009 Or October 5, 2009 Oregon Department of Corrections Community Corrections Supplemental Funds for Drug Addicted Persons SECTION ONE General Information I. INTRODUCTION Supplemental funds have been made available by the legislature for drug- addicted persons as part of the implementation of Measure 57. A statewide approach to intervention has been defined to meet the statutory requirement that the programs funded be guided by evidence -based practices and be designed to reduce crime and drug addiction. The approach includes a balance of treatment, supervision, and immediate sanctions. According to statute, the Department of Corrections shall make grants to counties to provide supplemental funding for: (a) the operation of jails; (b) treatment services for drug- addicted persons charged with a crime listed in ORS 137.717, convicted of a crime listed in ORS 137.717, or for those who have been convicted of predicate crimes related to ORS 137.717 and who have been placed on community supervision, and scoring as high or medium risk to re -offend on the Oregon Case Management System risk tool, or other validated risk tool approved by the Department; and (c) intensive supervision including incarceration for violating the conditions of that supervision for drug- addicted persons charged with a crime listed in ORS 137.717, convicted of a crime listed in ORS 137.717, or for those who have been convicted of predicate crimes related to ORS 137.717 and who have been placed on community supervision, and scoring as high or medium risk to re -offend on the Oregon Case Management System risk tool, or other validated risk tool approved by the Department. II. FUNDING The legislature has appropriated ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for the biennium 2009 -2011. Supplemental funds will be made available to counties based on a formula that matches the county's percentage share of community corrections grant -in -aid funds (see Attachment A). Every county will be eligible for a minimum grant of $50,000. A county or a group of counties may submit an application for these funds, as described in this publication. The Director of the Department of Corrections, after consulting with the Community Corrections Commission, shall review the applications and determine the funds to be allocated to each county. In the event that some of the funds are not allocated in this first round of funding, the balance of funds will be made available as enhancement funding through a competitive process based on scored program proposals in a process to be defined later. III. APPROVAL PROCESS The Community Corrections Commission shall review the applications and make recommendations to the Director or designee. The criteria upon which the advisory board shall base their review will include: (a) ability of the proposed approach to reduce crime and drug addiction; (b) extent to which the approach is guided by evidence -based practice and /or research; and (c) whether the approach is comprehensive, involving a mix of supervision, services, and sanctions; and (d) whether the approach is collaborative, engaging local criminal justice system agencies and local service providers working together. Oregon Department of Corrections Community Corrections Supplemental Funds for Drug Addicted Persons SECTION TWO: Standards for Interventions This new investment in effective interventions for drug addicted persons on supervision will be guided by evidence -based practices which are best designed to reduce crime and drug addiction. The required approach includes a balance of treatment, supervision, and immediate sanctions. While each county or group of counties may design an intervention unique to their community, the approach should incorporate these principles: • Assessment which is standardized, objective, and comprehensive should be used to prioritize treatment, determine criminal risk factors, and to determine the proper level of care. Assessments of risk should be based on actuarial risk assessment tools. • Rules, requirements and expectations for participants, including consequences for success and for failure are made formal and clear by an authority figure. • An individual case plan should be developed for each offender. The case should include criminal risk factors in addition to addiction that will be addressed in treatment. • Treatment program design should address issues of motivation. Treatment options should be available for offenders consistent with their assessed stage of change. • Treatment should be based on cognitive and behavioral interventions and social learning approaches. Treatment programs should be of sufficient length and intensity to produce stable behavior changes based on replacing old patterns of thinking and behaving and learning and practicing new skills for avoiding drug use and criminal behavior. • Utilize a system of graduated sanctions and incentives which are swift and sure and which encourage recovery goals while holding offenders accountable for non - compliance behaviors. • Weekly random drug testing should occur. There should be a consequence for this or any other rule violation, but that consequence should not automatically result in withdrawal from treatment. In fact, sanctions should be used to assure longer stays in treatment which are associated with good outcomes. • Co -ed treatment should be avoided if possible. Women generally experience better outcomes when treated in gender- specific and gender- responsive settings. • Programs should include relapse prevention planning and comprehensive transition planning so that participants are more likely to adjust to the next level of care or change in living situation. • Addictions treatment programs must be licensed by the state to provide addictions treatment Performance Goals: Interventions funded through this process will be evaluated. Goals for the evaluation are as follows: Treatment programs will be evidence - based: Programs will be reviewed for compliance with SB 267 using the Corrections Program Checklist. Recidivism will be reduced: Participants will recidivate at lower rates than similar untreated offenders. Recidivism will be measured, including reconviction and re- arrest. Participants will reduce drug use: Results of random urinalysis will be analyzed. Participants will show evidence of improved community functioning: Improved community functioning will be measured by successful completion of the program and through the existing community corrections performance measures (successful completion of supervision, employment, payment of restitution and /or community service work). Data Requirements: Offenders who participate in the program will be identified in CIS. The start and stop date of actual program participation as well as the reason for program closure will be entered in the Treatment Module in CIS. Program participants will be assessed for level of severity of addiction, using the Texas Christian University screening tool (available at no- cost). Program participants will be required to sign a consent to have data pulled from two existing state data basis: PRISM which provides information about employment, and CPMS which provides information about treatment.

BLDG #2, BEND OREGON, 97701 TELEPHONE NUMBER: 541 - 330 -8260 E -MAIL ADDRESS: tannerw @deschutes.org Offender population to be served: The Drug Addicted Intensive Services Program will serve those offenders who have an identified drug addiction which is affecting their ability to function in the community, have been convicted of a crime that is listed in ORS 137.717, score "high" to "medium" on the LSCMI risk assessment and are in the "contemplative" to "action" stage of change. Number of offenders who will participate in the program: At any given time 75 individuals will be involved in the program and approximately 150 offenders will be served over a 12 month period. 4 j Description of Services Provided: 1. Describe your intervention approach. How will you use supervision, treatment, and immediate sanctions to reduce drug abuse and criminal behavior? The Intensive Services Program (ISP) is designed to provide enhanced supervision and support to the above mentioned target population. The program is comprised of two components. One is the specialized ISP caseload. The second is the ISP treatment support service. The ISP caseload component is a specialized caseload of offenders that meet program eligibility requirements and are determined to be high risk. A single parole and probation officer (PPO) will supervise these offenders. This PPO will be trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive restructuring and substance abuse. This PPO will be knowledgeable of community based treatment providers and social service agencies. The PPO will incorporate these skills into an intensive case management program. Regardless of whether the offender assigned to the ISP caseload is newly sentenced or transferred from an existing caseload the offender will have a case plan developed which will identify the offender's top three to four criminogenic needs of the offender and a treatment regimen will be designed. The ISP officer will strictly monitor compliance with treatment. Violations of supervision will result in a swift response using graduated sanctions that will include cognitive classes, community service, electronic monitoring, and short jail sanctions. The second component is ISP treatment support services. Offenders will be eligible to receive ISP treatment support services if they meet the aforementioned eligibility criteria and are assessed to be medium risk. These offenders will not be assigned to the ISP caseload but will be provided the same level of service support as the high risk offenders who comprise the ISP caseload. All ISP program participants will be required to complete an alcohol and drug treatment program. All will be referred to treatment programs that best meet the offender's responsivity to learning style and motivation. All are subject to sanctions. Sanctions will be applied in a manner that will address the type and seriousness of violation. Sanctions will include, but are not limited to; assignment of additional community service, placement on electronic monitoring, requirement to complete the agency's 12 to 16 week Moral Reconation Therapy program or jail incarceration. Participants sanctioned to a period of incarceration in the Deschutes County Adult Jail may be assigned by facility staff to participate in the cognitive training or drug and alcohol treatment programming provided within the facility. 2. Describe the treatment program design, including expected duration and intensity. Treatment providers selected to receive funds from this program shall have a current Corrections Program Checklist with a satisfactory score or better and /or be in the 10 process of increasing the program score. Treatment providers providing service for this program will not conduct co -ed groups for offenders in the program. Communication between the treatment provider and the ISP staff will be done on a bi- weekly basis. Treatment programs will use random UA's as means of checking compliance with the program; this may be in concert with the parole and probation's random UA program. Treatment programs will use a cognitive behavior approach. All program participants will be required to attend group as directed. Offenders will start an intensive treatment regimen requiring three groups a week. With substantial compliance, treatment groups shall be reduced in accordance with the treatment provider's program. Treatment program duration is a minimum of 90 days. 3. Describe any collaborations in your approach, including local criminal justice systems and local services providers. The ISP program will work in concert with program treatment providers to insure program goals are being met and offender criminogenic needs are being addressed. In the event a probation offender is revoked, the supervising officer will communicate with the District Attorney's office and the Court to ensure all parties are aware of the offender's performance and to provide recommendations. ISP staff will coordinate continuation of treatment with the Deschutes County Sheriffs' Office and the Deschutes County Health Department for program participants serving a period of incarceration in the jails and assigned to the jail Restart Program. 4. How will risk assessments be used, and what risk assessment tool will be used. All potential program participants will be assessed using the OCMS, LSCMI and the Texas Christian University's drug screening. Assessment findings will be used to assist in determining suitability for assignment to the program and to develop the participant's case plan, particularly as it relates to addressing the offender's criminogenic need and determining treatment plans. 5. Describe how you will randomize drug testing. The offenders will be assigned to the department's random urinalysis (UA) program. The random UA program is a tool used to assess the offender's compliance with treatment and supervision. Offenders are given a form, assigning them a number and providing instructions of how the program works. These offenders are required to call in daily to the UA hotline. If their number is the assigned number for the day, they are required to report before 5pm to submit to an UA. All program participants will be assigned to the department's UA program for the first 90 days of program participation. Continued participation is determined by the supervising officer. 6. What research or evidence is there that supports the approach? If the 11 approach has been in operation for at least a year, what have been the outcomes of the approach? If the approach has been in operation for at least a year, how do participants rate on the community corrections performance measures (recidivism, successful completion of supervision, employment, benefit from treatment, payment of restitution and /or community service work)? A number of recognized evidenced based practices are used in this program. Program participant's risk needs will be assessed by use of a widely recognized actuarial based risk -needs assessment instrument. The intrinsic motivation of the participant will be reinforced by the PPO in part through the use of motivational interviewing techniques. Case plan and targeted interventions will be based on appropriate application of the Risk Principle, Need Principle, Responsivity Principle, Dosage of Structure, and Treatment. Cognitive programming is provided by department staff and other specific skills training is supported and will be provided as indicated by the case plan. The specialized caseload model as employed by the ISP caseload component of the program is a recognized best practice for offenders with mental health needs. This model has also shown promise with sex offender and domestic violence offender supervision and is a promising approach when applied to this program's population. There is no available research literature specifically applicable to this program and therefore no comparable outcome data exists. However, the major elements employed in the program are well researched and considered evidenced based. Performance data will be collected allowing for participant performance to be measured against the participant's prior performance, the general offender population and other offender subsets. Performance measures will include the five data elements collected by the Oregon the Department of Corrections (see table below) and: • Reduction in drug use, to be measured through treatment notes, urinalysis results, and exit interviews. • Reduction in crime, to be ascertained through criminal history checks over a multi -year period following completion of the program. • Increased Restitution Collection Rate, to be determined by the amount and frequency of payments for the duration of the ISP program. • Program Participation, to be tracked by offender start and stop dates on the ISP caseload will be documented in the CIS treatment module.
