Ccsip app (Rev. 2/95) Attachment 2 THE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER The Greeley CIRT program is called the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). RTC has been operated since 1989 by The Villa At Greeley, Inc. The Treatment Center is a community corrections program under the authority of the Colorado Revised Statutes, and is administered through the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Justice. In accordance with Statute, RTC subcontracts through the Weld County Community Corrections Board. Since 1989, over 2,500 offenders have been served by the Residential Treatment Center. Correctional referral sources express a high degree of satisfaction with the treatment referral process and treatment results. The program has maintained its "Community Intensive Residential Treatment" license in good standing with the Colorado Department of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division. All therapists are licensed through the Department of Health. KEY STAFF Michael Brand Mr. Brand has over 20 years of correctional experience in both community and institutional settings. He has been The Villa's Corrections Director since 1987. Relevant to this project, Mr. Brand supervised a Treatment Alternatives to Street Crimes (TASC) project, and a probation unit specifically designated for drunk drivers, funded through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Judy Rabson, CAC III Ms. Rabson is the Clinical Director for The Villa. She has over 15 years of chemical dependency treatment experience. Ms. Rabson directly supervises the therapists and therapeutic program at the Residential Treatment Center. DeAnn George, CAC II Ms. George is the Director of the Residential Treatment Center. She has been with the facility since its inception, and is instrumental in maintaining the daily operations of the facility including both therapeutic and correctional aspects. Ms. George is also responsible for coordinating the placement of offenders into the program and back into the community. The Greeley CIRT Program admits and discharges over 500 offenders per year. Unlike other treatment programs, a considerable amount of correctional coordination is required when serving an offender population that includes ISP inmates, parolees, community corrections Department of Corrections Transition inmates, Judicial Department community corrections Diversion inmates, and condition of probation offenders. Statewide coordination with the Department of Corrections institutions, County jails, and the Judiciary is required. The Residential Treatment Center received a favorable audit from the Division of Criminal Justice in 1993. Issues raised by the DCJ during the audit have been addressed by the program, and RTC is looking forward to another favorable audit in the future. The most recent Colorado Department of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division inspection was in January of 1994. No major issues were raised, and RTC maintains its CIRT licensure in good standing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Community Collaboration: This project is a collaboration and cooperative effort to expand and enhance the treatment and supervision of offenders placed in Community Corrections who have documented substance abuse problems. The project will be implemented on a statewide basis made possible by comprehensive offender placement coordination and the provision of transportation across the state. This project will combine the efforts of the following state criminal justice and corrections agencies: 1) District courts, 2) Department of Corrections, 3) Department of Public Safety, and 4) Parole Board; as well as local agencies such as the Community Corrections Boards in each Judicial District; and contract Service Providers across the state. The result will be expanded sentencing options for judges in District Courts and improved rates of successful completion of Community Corrections placements. Page 2b B. Project Summary: 1. Problem Statement: There are two types of community corrections inmates in the State of Colorado: "Diversion" inmates who are sentenced by local District Courts to community corrections in lieu of their incarceration and "Transition" innmates who are returning from a Department of Corrections institution. Only "Transition" inmates and parolees are eligible for funding in the Greeley CIRT program. "Diversion" inmates can be funded for treatment only if the enhanced funding provided through this grant can be combined with funds allocated to individual Judicial Districts for normal community corrections supervision. 2. Project Description: "Phis project will build on the existing statewide network of Community Corrections Programs to allow judges to use licensed Community Intensive Residential Treatment Programs (CIRT) beds to treat offenders with substance abuse problems. Existing funding permits use of these resources only for inmates and parolees under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. Tbis project would expand services at the existing CIRT program in Greeley with grant funds to 1) treat 246 Court -ordered community corrections inmates in an in -patient chemical dependency treatment unit, in lieu of their incarceration in the Department of Corrections; and 2) ensuring the statewide availability of in -patient treatment to offenders sentenced to community corrections by the Courts in all of Colorado's Judicial Districts. This will be accomplished through the provision of statewide transportation services to and from the treatment facility and placement coordination services ensuring bed dates; coordination with the referring Court and Community Corrections Board; dealing with any Court -ordered expectations and correctional issues, etc. 3. Cultural Diversity: According to Department of Corrections statistics, the ethnicity of inmates in Colorado is: Anglo 53%, Hispanic 23%, and Black 21%. In the last fiscal year, the Greeley CIRT Program's ethnicity background was: Anglo 52%, Hispanic 24%, and Black 21%. This demonstrates that the Greeley CIRT program provides services to a population that is ethnically representative of the Colorado offender population. This ethnic diversity can be assured to continue if the program can serve offenders on a statewide basis. 4. Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project is to make available in -patient chemical dependency treatment for community corrections "diversion" offenders for all of Colorado's Judicial Districts. The objective is to reduce the number of "Diversion" offenders being sent to prison for alcohol and other drug -related reasons. Page 2c 5. Evaluation Plan: A data base will be maintained on all Diversion offenders placed in the program to include all pertinent process data and outcome data. A follow-up study to determine the "success" or "failure" of the target population will be conducted by a) regular, incremental contacts with the referring agencies on individual offender progress, b) a Colorado Bureau of Investigation records check to determine any further criminal activity, and c) a cross- reference check with the Department of Corrections to determine any subsequent incarcerations of diversion offenders after completion of treatment. 6. Anticipated Results: As documented by the research described in the Evaluation Plan, the anticipated result would be to reduce the treated number of "Diversion" offenders' incarceration by 15%. This would result in twenty-seven (37) fewer offenders being placed in a Department of Corrections institution.

Problem Statement 21. Project Goalsand Objectives 22. Project Description 23. Evaluation 24. -Evaluation of Past Progress (continuation applications) 25. Plans for Future -Funding (Rev. 2/95) dcsip.app Page 8a 20. Problem Statement: The relationship of substance abuse and crime has been well documented nationally, as well as in Colorado. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that one-third of the inmates in state prisons were under the influence of drugs when they committed their crimes. More than one-half of the inmates had used drugs during the month prior to their crime of conviction, most on a daily basis. Some studies also indicate that offenders using drugs commit a disproportionately higher rate of crimes than non -using offenders. In Colorado, the Department of Corrections' assessment of inmates entering the systems diagnosed 73% with moderate to severe substance abuse problems. Colorado's sentencing system provides four options for convicted felons: 1) Probation, 2) Prison, 3) Parole, and 4) Community Corrections. The average daily count of felons in Community Corrections programs is approximately 2,000 offenders. To provide additional services intended to divert offenders from prison, the Residential Treatment Center in Greeley was opened. The program is a 60 -bed facility licensed as a Community Intensive Residential Treatment (CIRT) program certified by the Colorado Department of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD). The specific problem related to the Greeley CIRT program is the limitation that State funds are available only for Department of Corrections inmates and parolees, excluding direct placements of Court -ordered "Diversion" offenders in the program. This means that, although two-thirds of Colorado's community corrections population consists of "Diversion" offenders, these offenders are not eligible to participate in the program. This results in more diversion offenders with significant alcohol and other drug problems being sentenced to prison, instead of being allowed to participate in treatment. 21. Project Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project is to make available in -patient chemical dependency treatment for community corrections "Diversion" offenders on a statewide basis, in lieu of their incarceration in a Department of Corrections institution. The objective is, through treatment, to reduce the number of "Diversion" offenders being sent to prison for alcohol and other drug related reasons by 15%. With an average treatment stay of 40 days, and an average daily population of 27 diversion offenders, this would result in 246 diversion offenders being served, and at least 37 less diversion offenders being sent to prison. The Drug Control and System Improvement Program purpose area related to this project is #13 (Board Priority #3): "Treatment for Drug Addicted Offenders". Page 8b 22. A. Project Description: This project will expand community -based correctional resources to treat and manage felons with histories of substance abuse. Two offender populations will be served: 1. Inmates and parolees under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Corrections, and 2. Felons sentenced directly to Community Corrections by District Court Judges. Both populations would be in prison without the resources of Community Corrections and the enhancements provided by this project. Offenders participating in the project will be identified for drug treatment through assessments conducted when they are received for supervision by the Judicial Department, the Department of Corrections or a Community Corrections facility, or by results of urinalyses that detect continuing drug abuse. Such offenders will be referred for residential treatment in the CIRT program in Greeley. State funding is available for all costs of CIRT placements for inmates and parolees for up to $47.46 per day. However funding for court placements is only available for $32.38, prohibiting placement of direct court placements in CIRT without the additional funding requested for this project. The Greeley CIRT program was selected for funding by the state after an RFP process in 1989. The Greeley program is operated by The Villa At Greeley, Inc., a private corporation endorsed by and under subcontract with the Weld County Community Corrections Board. CIRT treatment lasts from 30-45 days. With an average length of stay of 40 days, the 27 beds will permit treatment of 246 court placed offenders during the contract period. After completing residential treatment in CIRT, offenders will return to their home communities, where they will be supervised by local Community Corrections programs across the state. This project interlinks with existing community corrections programs, but expands the services to offender populations that currently cannot be placed in residential treatment, thus limiting their correctional services and supervision options in the community. 22. B. Workplan and Timetable: This project is an expansion of programming already on line for Department of Corrections inmates. Schedule of project activities is listed below. September, 1995 Project Director notifies service provider (Residential Treatment Center) of the availability of grant funds to expand treatment services in order for them to take whatever steps are necessary to be ready to begin the referral and placement process for Diversion offenders. Page 8c September, 1995 October, 1995 October, 1995 - September, 1996 September 30, 1996 Community Corrections Boards in all judicial districts are notified of the availability of grant funds for treatment for Diversion offenders. Project begins. Residential Treatment Center begins accepting diversion offenders into treatment. Staff at Center also begin collecting data to provide documentation of project activities to the Project Director. Project services are delivered maintaining an average daily population of 27 diversion offenders in treatment. This will be the responsibility of the Placement Coordinator at the Residential Treatment Center Project ends, data is collected and analyzed, and the project is evaluated. This will be completed the Residential Treatment Center Staff and the Project Director. 22. C. Staff and Other Project Resources: Project Director will be Sharon Street, Administrator to the Weld County Community Corrections Board. She has been performing administrative duties for the Board since 1988. The Residential Treatment Center (CIRT) meets the ADAD Standards for CIRT programs and they are currently under contract with the State of Colorado to provide treatment services. (See Attachment 2) 22. D. Critical Elements of the Project: The success of this project is predicated on two critical elements: 1. Development of a statewide referral and transportation system to ensure referrals of "Diversion" offenders from across the state. 2. Adherence to Standards promulgated by both the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division and the Division of Criminal Justice. (See Attachment 2) 22. E. Effects and Impact: Specifically, this project will allow funding for 246 "Diversion" offender placements in in -patient chemical dependency treatment, in lieu of their incarceration in a Department of Corrections institution. The program will be implemented, and will therefore have an impact, on a statewide basis. The project also ensures statewide placement coordination and transportation services for Diversion Community Corrections offenders. Page 8d 23. Evaluation: A data base on Diversion offenders will be maintained that will include: - Number of offenders placed - Length of stay - Rate of successful completion - Referral/release agency or program - Crime - Age, race, sex, ethnicity and gender - Drug of choice - Reasons for unsuccessful discharge - Drug Related - violent offenses - non-violent offenses - Not Drug Related - violent offenses - -non-violent offenses A follow-up study to determine the "success" or "failure" of the target population (determined by return to custody) will be conducted by A. Regular, incremental contacts with the referring agency, B. A Colorado Bureau of Investigation records check to determine any further criminal activity, and C. A cross-reference check with the Department of Corrections to determine any subsequent incarcerations of Diversion offenders after completion of treatment. An Annual Report will be supplied by the Weld County Community Corrections Board to the Department of Public Safety outlining the progress and activities of the project throughout the previous year. The applicant understands that it will be required to collect certain consistent data as a condition of receiving federal funding, including data contained in the Division of Criminal Justice quarterly and final reporting forms. 25. Plans for Future Funding: -The Division of Criminal Justice has indicated a commitment to request future state funds to ensure the continuation of "Diversion" offender placements in treatment. Outcomes of this project can be used by the Division of Criminal Justice to seek those funds. DRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (DCSIP) APPLICATION FOR FUNDS Page 9 of 16 26.
