The hope program- helping with opportunities for parents to engage in treatment services - the eighth judicial district court (EJDC) family treatment court (FTC) proposes the hope program - helping with opportunities for parents to engage in treatment services. Hope will focus on services such as residential inpatient treatment for substance use disorder and/or CO-occurring disorder treatment for parents/ families in FTC. The population of focus for this project consists of individuals who are accepted into the clark county, EJDC FTC and who require residential inpatient treatment or outpatient treatment, with a recovery housing component to assist in the reunification and sustaining of the family unit, in conjunction with traditional child welfare case management and safety planning, and nationally recognized ftdc interventions and practices, such as regular random drug testing, regular court monitoring, the use of incentives and graduated sanctions, parent peer mentoring, and frequent collaboration and communication between the courts, child welfare agency, treatment provider and community partners. The primary geographic area to be served is clark county, nevada. However, the EJDC FTC will accept cases from other jurisdictions. The EJDC will continue to partner with local non-profit organizations to expand capacity for residential and recovery housing services for parents/ families. The project proposes to serve 35 unduplicated individuals, annually and 175 unduplicated individuals, throughout the entirety of the project period, with the grant funds. Clark county lacks sufficient residential inpatient treatment facilities for participants needing inpatient treatment. The EJDC plans to partner initially with one community provider, who currently serve clark county for residential inpatient treatment and recovery housing for parents/ families involved in the child welfare system as this provider is able to allow children to reside on site with the mothers participating in inpatient residential treatment, that provider is westcare nevada. The EJDC will work on partnering with other providers in the community, if they meet the contractual obligations. However, currently due to lack of funding this provider is unable to place all parents/families requiring inpatient treatment and recovery housing. Resulting in, individuals not in treatment despite meeting criteria for substance use disorders and/or CO-occurring disorders.
