III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department was notified of the Federal
Demonstration Poject Award on October . 10, 1987 and received the
attached Standard Agreement #29-454 from the State Department of
Mental Health on June 21 , 1988 . The contract period term is
April 20 , 1988 through August 31 , 1988 .
The Federal National Institutes for Mental Health has funded
thirteen demonstration projects nationally to design, implement
and evaluate innovative treatment methods for adults who have
both a serious mental illness and a substance abuse disorder.
This Federal Community Support Project initiative. is in response
to growing evidence that substance use or abuse by the mentally
ill is prevalent (25-507 prevalence in mental health treatment
programs) and has a significant negative impact on treatment
success for this population . The Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental
Health Division of the Health Services Department was awarded
one of the thirteen grant awards as a result of its emphasis on
this problem since 1984 , which included the development of a
Dual Diagnosis Task Force , initiation of legislation (SB 848) ,
participation in research with the Alcohol Research Group ,
design of model treatment programs , and provision of a dual
diagnosis training program. Another factor in the selection of
Contra Costa County was our ability to implement a program
targeted and responsive to the needs of ethnic minority
populations .
This demonstration project adds dual diagnosis 'treatment com-
ponents to a contracted residential treatment facility, Nyumba
Chuki , which is operated by Phoenix Programs , Inc. , and Partial
Hospital , an intensive day treatment program operated by the
West County Community Mental Health Center . The project is
staffed by a Dual Diagnosis Project Director and a Clinical
Nurse Specialist . In addition , two residential 'counselors are
added to Nyumba Chuki to increase coverage and the program' s
capacity to provide specialized individual and group treatment .
The demonstration project funding is primarily for County and
contracted personnel and related expenses . During the first
year of the project , funding will also provide; for training,
conferences , and consultation to the project ' s direct service
and supervisory staff .
This contract has been approved as to legal form by County
Counsel ' s Office .
The Board Chairman should sign the Statement of Compliance and
eight copies of the agreement . The Statement of Compliance,
seven signed copies of the agreement , and seven certified copies
of the Board Order should be returned to the " Contracts and
Grants Unit for submission to State Department of ' Mental Health.
