Subject:Amendment #24-243-56 with R.E.A.C.H. Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Novation Contract #24-243-55 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment
services at Contractor’s facilities throughout East County, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015,
which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014. In October 2014, the County received
new instructions on drug medical reimbursement of County administrative expenses.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-243-56 will allow the Contractor to provide additional drug abuse
prevention and treatment services through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive additional substance abuse treatment services
from Contractor, resulting in an overall reduction of services to a community at risk for incarceration.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This prevention and treatment program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes:
“Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities
that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include
addicted youth being provided an opportunity to prevent or recover from the effects of alcohol or other drug use,
become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.
