and court, supervised visits, child care while family is in treatment, run errands such as

Fast Track Adolescent Program
The Fast Track Adolescent Program is an Intensive Outpatient Program with residential
services if clinically necessary. The targeted population ranges from 13 to 17 years of age
who demonstrate substance abuse problems. The goal is to have these adolescents
discover positive alternatives to their current use behavior.
The program consists of a comprehensive differential assessment compiling personal and
collateral information as well as data obtained from the Addiction Severity Index (ASI).,
Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) and the Adolescent Self-
Assessment Profile (ASAP) instruments. This data is utilized to develop an
individualized treatment plan. Clients receive a minimum of three individual sessions
with the focus on achieving their treatment goals and attend three groups per week and
three per day if in residential with the primary focus on education and motivational
topics. Family therapy is encouraged as a part of the client's treatment. A discharge
planning session will be implemented focusing on appropriate referrals addressing the
needs and motivation of the adolescent and family.
Referral Process to Fast Track Program:
Contact Kristen Arnold at (970) 356-6664. If she is not on duty, inform the staff person.
that Social Services is referring a Fast Track adolescent and give the youth's case
worker's name so that the Fast Track staff can contact the case worker when they return
to duty.
On-Site Staff Services
The scope of the services offered to the local Social Services agency by ADAD approved
staff placed on site by the licensed ADAD program may include performing alcohol and
drug assessments, brief therapy (under 8 hours), case consultation, case management, and
in-house training on pertinent alcohol/drug issues as requested and training evaluation of
care givers. In addition to this, on-site staff may accompany Social Service staff on
Page 9 of 19
follow-up visits to perform a behavioral health screening for the purpose of identifying
clients who could benefit from further assessments for alcohol/drug interventions or
mental health interventions.
Enhanced Services
Enhanced services are approved services that are requested by Social Services for specific
cases which fall outside of the definitions listed above in the description of the ADAD
menu of services. Enhanced services may be services not described on the menu, services
not included in the definition or due to lack of economy of scale, or rural location, or
result in additional costs to Compass. In order for Compass to provide the enhanced
service, the cost would be outside of the approved rates. Any additional fees would be
negotiated on a case by case basis.
An example of a service outside of the approved definitions would be a request for a
system evaluation. This would include collateral contacts as appropriate with schools,
parents, primary care giver, probation, and other significant persons in the identified
client's life. The information gathered from the collateral contacts would be included in
the assessment findings and treatment recommendations. If additional service is needed
in order to meet a request by a local department such as parenting skills assessment,
additional fees may be added to the basic assessment fee. Psychological exams and
psychiatric testing are not included in the definition of the alcohol and drug evaluation.
Normally this type of assessment would be done with mental health dollars and not
alcohol and drug (ADAD) binding. Other services such as home based services which
have a designated core service funding source should be paid for out of those funds.
Compass could supplement the home based services with in-home family alcohol and
drug services as appropriate.
Compass providers can arrange for services outside of the approved definitions but the
Social Service Department requesting the specialized service will be charged an
additional fee that would be negotiated on a case by case basis by the designated
representative listed in the contract. If the additional cost is recommended to be
reimbursed with the ADAD funds,the cost must be approved by Compass/Signal.
Another example of enhanced services which may be provided with higher fees may be
intensive outpatient services, or the use of a floater* or approved subcontractor for a
specific task. The additional cost would be negotiated with the respective Social Services
Department.
*Floater - a temporarily assigned staff or subcontractor to perform a lime specified
alcohol or drug related approved task.

have also expressed an interest in this type of project. This would be a blended funded
project involving dollars from several different funding stream sources including core
service and ADAD family service dollars. At the time, additional leg work is needed
before launching such a project. If the initial findings continue to support the need for
additional alcohol and drug adolescent residential treatment in Area 1, a project will be
initiated in the second half of this FY 99-2000 utilizing these funds, with Signal's
approval. Funds from core service dollars ADAD dollars earmarked for use in this
