Central colorado tree: treatment and recovery enhancement and expansion - as the result of previous samhsa funding to the state of colorado, the central colorado region has implemented system of care infrastructure and services for many system-involved youth up to age 21. With the support of funding opportunity TI-21-001, mission possible will implement the proposed project titled "central colorado tree: treatment and recovery and enhancement and expansion." this project will enhance and expand youth treatment and recovery services in a 6-county region of central colorado that includes the urban area of colorado springs in EL paso county and the surrounding rural and frontier counties (teller, fremont, custer, park, and chaffee counties). The population of focus is youth ages 12 to 25 with a substance use disorder (SUD) including those with a CO-occurring mental health disorder (COD). This project will develop a comprehensive behavioral health system of care that is guided by the youth and family voice and offers integrated services for youth up to age 25 with substance use disorders (SUD) and CO-occurring mental health disorders (COD) by implementing evidenced-based practices including high-fidelity wraparound, family and youth peer support, motivational interviewing, and developmentally-appropriate substance use disorder treatment for adolescents and transition-age youth. The three major goals of this project are as follows: 1) expand high-fidelity wraparound and care coordination to more youth, including transition-age youth unto age 25; 2) enhance treatment and recovery services for you youth ages 12-25 with SUD by providing youth and families with peer support to increase engagement in services and support recovery; and 3) increase access to an array of evidenced-based and promising treatment and recovery services that are data-driven, trauma-informed, and culturally-responsive. A minimum of 450 youth with SUD or COD in central colorado will be served through the project.
