Expand substance use disorder treatment capacity in adult treatment court for 13TH judicial district court - new day treatment center (new day), is a nonprofit community agency located in billings, montana (yellowstone county) and is currently a contracted community partner serving the 13TH judicial district drug court in montana (13TH jddc). The 13TH jddc is a felony drug court whose population is significantly higher in risk and need than those intercepted at the misdemeanor level. The funds sought by this request will serve to directly build the capacity of new day to professionally respond in service to individuals for whom treatment of substance abuse disorder is more appropriate to long term successful outcomes than incarceration. The target population includes adult offenders of all genders charged in 13TH district court with felony offenses with an underlying cause of drug or alcohol addiction and abuse. New day will provide initial and ongoing assessment services, intensive case management, mental health services for CO-occurring disorders, and health and wellness program(s) through our skilled staff and community partners within an existing continuum of care. Services to include intensive day treatment, IOP, seeking safety and aftercare and relapse prevention specific to each individual's need. Enhancing treatment services will also assist to address a lack of referrals from the court of non-caucasian offenders and improve administration of culturally sensitive treatment services. New day requests $400,000 per 12-month funding period to build capacity as we increase supportive services for the 13TH judicial district drug court, serving up to 76 participants annually with the expectation to serve 388 participants referred by the court over five years. The goals of this project will include increasing public safety, reducing recidivism, and helping offenders become productive, law-abiding citizens by identifying and treating offenders with CO-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders pursuant to best practices. Increasing new day's capacity will assist to reduce the number of persons with CO-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders experiencing incarceration at the yellowstone county detention center awaiting treatment. With 98 staff members, new day has been providing substance abuse and mental health assessments, outpatient and continuing care treatment, supportive recovery homes, peer support, medication assisted treatment (M.A.T.), act/ prime for life programming, ancillary and mental health services to assist those suffering from substance abuse and mental health disorders in our region since 1993. Licensed by the state of montana's department of public health and human services, accredited by the council on accreditation, advanced, cognia, and a narr candidate, new day staff members are quite skilled and highly qualified to address the needs of adult drug court clients through the proposed capacity building program.
