ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT NO. FY97-3003
CHILD PROTECTION AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES
BETWEEN THE WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
AND THE ISLAND GROVE REGIONAL TREATMENT CENTER, INC.
This Addendum to Contract No. FY 97-3003, made and entered into the first day of February
1998, by and between the Board of Weld County Commissioners on behalf of the Weld County
Department of Social Services,hereafter referred to as"Social Services": and the Island Grove
Regional Treatment Center, Inc.,hereinafter referred to as"Island Grove."
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, required approval, clearance, and coordination have been accomplished from
and with appropriate agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Child Welfare Settlement Agreement required, among other things,
Social Services to obtain outpatient core services for eligible clients who are at imminent risk for
out-of-home placement in the category of alcohol and drug services; and
WHEREAS,the Colorado Department of Human Services has provided Family Issues
Cash Fund resources to Social Services for outpatient core services for families, children, and
adolescents; and
WHEREAS, Social Services and Island Grove desire to enter into an agreement in
providing expanded services for families, children, and adolescents utilizing the above-mentioned
resources,
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto covenant and
address the following addendum to the Child Protection Agreement for Services.
1. Term
This addendum shall become effective February 1, 1998, upon proper executive of this
amended Agreement and shall expire May 31, 1998.
2. Scope of Services
Island Grove shall place a CAC II or above on site at Social Services for 20 hours per
week for the purpose of accompanying Social Service staff on follow-up visits to perform a
behavioral health screening for the purpose of identifying clients who could benefit from further
assessments for alcohol/drug intervention or mental health interventions. In addition,this on-site
staff will perform alcohol and drug assessments as time permits, provide case consultation, case
management, and in-house training on pertinent alcohol/drug issues as requested.

ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT NO. FY97-3003
Child Protection Agreement for Services Between the Weld County Department of Social
Services and the Island Grove Regional Treatment Center, Inc.
The on-site staff will also assist in the development of their function as part of the EPP
program which Social Services shall be initiating in the immediate future.
The on-site staff shall accompany Social Service staff on all follow-up visits in order to
perform an initial screening for alcohol/drug or mental health issues within family members. If the
initial screening indicates that further assessment is needed in either area, the on-site staff person
will make that recommendation to the caseworker. The caseworker would make the referral for
either an alcohol/drug assessment or mental health assessment. If a mental health assessment is
determined to be necessary, the caseworker shall refer to the appropriate mental health agency. If
an alcohol/drug assessment is requested,the caseworker shall refer to the on-site staff person. The
on-site staff person shall complete the assessment within three work days, if time does not allow
for this assessment to be completed in the time period (during the allocated 20 hours on site),they
will make a referral to Island Grove for the formal assessment. A written report shall be
completed within five work days of completing the assessment.
The primary purpose of the on-site person shall be to accompany social services staff on
follow-up visits for the purpose of screening for behavioral health issues and perform their
function within the EPP program. On-site case consultation, formal assessments, and in-house
training are secondary to their primary function.
The outcomes of this pilot would be to identify clients who could be placed into an
intervention program(Welfare Diversion)which could prevent further action on the Department
of Social Services and lead to earlier identification of issues relating to the initial complaint,which
if addressed, could result in expedited successful closure of the case. The measurements for these
outcomes would be the number of families identified as benefiting from formal assessments,
number of families completing alcohol and drug assessments, number of families completing the
intervention/brief therapy recommendations, and the shortened length of time a case is open in the
Social Service system as a result of this intervention.
Clients referred into the intervention program would be considered voluntary, Social
Services would keep the case open until at least eight hours of intervention services had been
performed. At that time, the caseworker of record would be notified by Island Grove that the
family is cooperative and has completed a minimum of eight hours of intervention services. It
would then be the caseworker's option to close or continue to monitor the family, based on
individual case parameters. Island Grove would continue to provide treatment services to the
referred family until it is clinically appropriate to discharge, at that time a written discharge
summary will be sent to the caseworker for placement in the file.

ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT NO. FY97-3003
Child Protection Agreement for Services Between the Weld County Department of Social
Services and the Island Grove Regional Treatment Center, Inc.
Island Grove will pay for intervention treatment services after the initial referral is
made on the clients referred through the on-site staff person. Social Services will benefit by
having access to funds outside of their budget to provide treatment services to their clients. Social
Services will pay for the on-site person out of the ADAD core services dollars and assessments
which cannot be completed by the on-site staff person per the terms of the current contract.
3. Payment
Social Services will pay a monthly fee to Island Grove for placing an on-site CAC staff in
their facility for 20 hours per week. The fee covers Island Grove's costs as it relates to salary,
benefits, taxes, clinical supervision of assigned personnel, supplies, travel and indirect costs
associated with the pilot project. The fee will be$55 per hour and will be billed monthly through
our current core services contract as on-site staff services. That would equate to $18,700 over
the 17-week pilot period from February 1, 1998, through May 31, 1998.
Except as modified herein, the terms and conditions of the original agreement FY97-3003,
together with all attachments of the original Agreement, remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,the parties hereto have duly executed the Modification as the
day, month, and year first above written.
