DATE: January 8, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #24-818 with
Bonita House, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Lorna Bastian) to execute on behalf of the County, Standard Contract
#24-818 with "Bonita House, Inc. , for the period from September 28,
1995 through September 30, 1996, with a payment limit of $65, 963 , for
provision of residential/dual diagnosis treatment services. This
Contract includes provision for a six-month automatic extension
through March 31, 1997 , in the amount of $32 , 982 .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services budget and is funded
by County/Realignment funds as a result of savings generated from the
County's reduction of client placements at State Hospitals.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSIBACKGROUND:
Bonita House Inc. , a very specialized dual diagnosis social
rehabilitation residential service has 15 beds, 13 of which are
dedicated to Alameda County residents.
In September, 1995, a Contra Costa County mental health contract
service provider referred a client to Bonita House' s Social
Rehabilitation Facility, for dual diagnosis residential treatment
services. At the time of referral, the contractor believed the client
to be a resident of Alameda County. Subsequently, it was discovered
that the client was in fact a resident of Contra Costa County. Contra
Costa County must now cover the costs of using the bed at Bonita
House, retroactively, to the client' s admission date of September 28,
1995.
It is estimated that as many as 80% of persons with a serious mental
illness also have a substance abuse problem, making this contract
crucial under managed care. Bonita House is the only program of its
type in the Bay Area and has received national recognition.
Approval of this Contract #24-818 will secure a dedicated bed for
Contra Costa County residents at Bonita House, thereby covering the
existing client and future ones, and one additional bed on an as
needed, as available basis..
