treatment services, including residential treatment and continuing care for pregnant and/or
parenting women, and their children.
Approval of Contract #74–144–16 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services
through June 30, 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not be able to continue providing specialized
substance abuse treatment services so that mothers of children 0-5 are provided an
opportunity to achieve sobriety, reunify with their children who have been identified by
child welfare as at risk for maltreatment, and have the family heal from harmful
consequences of alcohol and other drug use.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This Prop 10 program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable,
and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety
for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent,
while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of
drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, improvements in the
health and well being of clients’ children, and creation of a sober social network.
