Treatment court enhancement project (tcep) - IN2ACTION's treatment court enhancement project (tcep) will increase the long-term success rates for adult men and women diagnosed with a substance use disorder participating in the 13TH judicial circuit treatment court by scaling evidence-based recovery support services in boone county, MO. An average of 54 people per year with a total of 270 will be served over the life of the project. Participants in the adult drug court, CO-occurring track, DWI track, mental health court, and veterans treatment court will receive enhanced services which fill identified gaps in the trauma-informed recovery oriented system of care (TI-rosc) which are sustainable and expected to provide a positive return on investment long after grant funding expires. The goals of the IN2ACTION-tcep are to (1) mitigate the negative consequences of a recurrence of SUD symptoms among treatment court participants; (2) increase opportunities for long-term recovery for treatment court participants and (3) promote pro-social behaviors among treatment court participants in recovery housing. The measurable objectives are to (1) increase RE-engagement in recovery by 80% in respite participants compared to treatment baseline data measured at 5 days post recurrence; (2) reduce positive drug screens to less than 10% for all current level-1 and level-2 recovery housing residents and (3) increase recovery capital by an average of 50% over two months as measured by barc-10. The project will utilize multiple evidence-based and promising practices to achieve these goals including: (1) adult drug court best practice standards combined with enhanced recovery support services that focus on increasing (2) recovery capital including (3) accredited recovery housing provided by (4) certified peer support specialists. (5) the habilitation empowerment accountability therapy (heat) program will ensure that special attention is given to populations that are disproportionately represented in the treatment court including black and african american participants. The success and impact of the project will be measured though a formal evaluation conducted by the university of missouri-columbia.
