SUBJECT; Approval of FY 1987-88 Novation Contract 1124-351-6 with
La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers for a Six-Bed
Adolescent Mental Health Treatment Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract 1124-351-6 with La Cheim Residential
Treatment Centers in the amount of $269 , 680 for the period
July 1 , 1987 through June 30 , 1988 for provision of a six-bed
residential treatment program and off-site intensive day treat-
ment program for mentally disturbed adolescents . This document
includes a six-month automatic contract extension from June 30 ,
1988 through December 31 , 1988 in the amount of $134 ,840.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is fully funded in the Health Services Department
Budget for 1987-88 (org . 115952 ) , including a budget augmen-
tation which was provided by the Board of Supervisors for insur-
ance and program cost increases . The Contract Payment Limit is
funded by State Mental Health funding and County fuinding.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
This contractor has been providing these children ' s mental
health treatment services at its residential and day treatment
facilities in Richmond under an automatic extension of the FY
1986-87 Contract 1124-351-5 . Novation Contract 1124-351-6 replaces
the six-month automatic extension under the prior contract .
These contract services are a vital and important. part of the
County ' s continuum of care for children and adolescents .
Children' s mental health clinics have long waiting lists of ado-
lescents in need of residential treatment . This Novation
Contract provides for the operation of a six-bed treatment faci-
lity in Contra Costa County . Presently, the majority of
disturbed adolescents must be sent to Napa State Hospital .
Approval of the La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers Contract
will continue to help curtail our utilization of Napa beds which
is currently one of the highest in the State . It will also pro-
vide residential treatment in the community closer to the fami-
lies , and should enable the adolescents to return home in a much
shorter period of time than if sent to Napa State Hosp al .
