SCOPE OF WORK
A.Service Expectations
Over more than a quarter century the Hispanic Commission has adhered to its mission to
rid the incidence of substance and it consequences among the at risk population in Fresno
County despite opportunities and invitations to do otherwise.The goal remains to provide
currently licensed long-term residential alcohol/drug free oriented/participant driven services to
individuals and their families residing in Fresno County affected by the consequences of alcohol
and drug abuse.These services are designed to:
•Identify and develop an understanding of the Substance Use Disorder (SUD)and how it
leads to relapse.
•Provide individual and group treatment and psycho-educational sessions that will assist
monolingual clients.
•Explore family/support system dynamics and how they relate to addiction,recovery and
relapse potential.
•Incorporate personal and community support systems supporting a productive,
alcohol/drug-free lifestyle.
• Approximately 90%)of the clients will havean understandingof how additionmanifests
itself in his life.
• Assist clients prior to discharge in to the community by developing a continuing care plan
that includes support and mutual help groups and other ancillary services such as
housing, access to vocational training,employment,child care, family reunification,
medical care, mental health care legal aid,welfare services and other supportive services
designed to help in the recovery process.
The outcomes of these services are designed to bring:
• Approximately90% of clients will, when interviewedby a counselor,be able to identify
the emotional,social,and/or other issues that increase his vulnerability to relapse.
• Approximately70% or more of the clients and their families will be able to identifyand
practice healthy forms of interaction that can support long term sobriety.
• Approximately 99%of clients who complete the program will receive a continuous care
plan and referrals so that all required supportive sources can be accessed.
• Approximately60 %or more of clients who complete the program will report themselves
to be substance free within 1 year of the completing of the residential services.
Developinga healthy recreationalschedule is an important element of recoverywhich
helps clients become involved in activities thatarenot associated withtheir addictions.The
Hispanic Commission's programs address this through daily exercises and recreational activities
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 2 of 17
at the treatment center.Equally important,in terms of recreational activities,is the establishment
of good leisure time habit. Once clients have stopped using substances,individuals in the early
stages of recovery frequently have difficulty adjusting to extended periods of time on the hands
in which they have nothing to do and boredom is a frequent precursor to lapses and relapses.
The Hispanic Commission helps clients plan leisure time so that exercise and sober social
activities become regular parts of their lives.Sober social activities are structured through
AA/NA,and other alumni groups.
B.General Requirements
1.Structured Activities Used to Support Stated Objectives
The Hispanic Commission currently offers residential treatment services to Latinos in
Fresno County at Nuestra Casa, a nonprofit recovery home that facilitates the recovery process
through highly structured services delivered in a home environment.This program takes place in
three Phases:
• Phase I is designed to introduce the client to the nature of addiction.This phase also
explores culture and gender as these two forces interact to produce addiction.
• Phase II begins after the client has completed the first 30-day treatment component. The
program seeks to stabilize the client and begins to address his life forces which can have
an impact upon the recovery process.
• Phase III prepares the client for his transition out of the safety of the program into an
outpatient program at which point he is expected to function independently within his
home and community while maintaining a substance free life utilizing his support system.
2.Residential Program Services Offered are delivered within a gender and culture specific
framework.They include:
•Comprehensive assessment using ASI.
• Short-term therapy to address current and/or impending crises.
•Individual,group and family sessions (both process and education).
•Comprehensive case management and active referral.
•Transportation,food, and housing.
•Nutrition Education.
•HIV education and testing.
•Other services as needed.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 3 of 17
The Hispanic Commission is currently licensed to provide 16 beds for this residential
program.Staffing levels will be monitored to ensure that they meet the CA Code of Regulations,
Title 9, Chapter 11;Division 4, Chapter 5; and/or State of CA Health and Human Services
Agency's Department of Health Care Services,Alcohol and/or other Drugs Certification
Standards for Residential and Outpatient Services.
The agency utilizes targeted case management in order to coordinate schedules. The
Care Schedule includes "free" time slots that have been specifically created in order to allow
time for the inclusion and integration of additional support services.Electronic case
management technology is used to assist in the coordination of multiple schedules.
Utilizing a culture and gender specific curriculum individual,group and family
counseling is provided to clients inour residential program.Each of these sessions are designed
to address enduring aspects of the recovery process from different perspectives. The individual
counseling sessions allow the client and the counselor to uncover antecedents of the abuse
problem from the perception of the client.In contrast,the group counseling sessions provide an
objective,more holistic view of addiction based on multiple perspectives.Lastly,the family
sessions provide an opportunity for the client and his familyto begin the process of reunification
and rebuilding.
Fresno County Hispanic Commission provides a range of services that are designed to
identify and address not merely intra-psychic forces that provoke and sustain drug use, but also
the environmental forces that can challenge the recovery process as well. Thus, the program
offers crisis intervention services with trained counselors who can provide temporary resolution
to immediate crises. Additionally, the Commission assists each client in qualifying for and
receiving all supportive services for which he is eligible. Counselors very critically begin
planning for the release of the client to an outpatient program at least one month before
discharge. The client is also assisted in finding housing and in obtaining other needed resources.
Finally,aftercare services are provided to assist each client in obtaining employment and in
remaining sober.
During the treatment process,the client's vocation and educational interests are explored.
By the end of the 90-day residential program, the men are either linked to education and training
programs or are gainfully employed. During the course of the residential program, highly
selective recreational and socialization experiences are introduced to support the overall
treatment process.The Hispanic Commission includes socializing and recreational activities
such as volleyball,soccer,basketball,walks, table games and other low impact physical
activities to reinforce the concepts of discipline,teamwork,and excellence.
While in residential treatment,the clients are provided full room and board. All meals
are nutritious in content and balanced to the major food groups.Drug screening is used to
ensurecompliance with the recovery process.Program staff screens saliva and urine specimens
to insure clients are drug free.

6.Residential Services
The Hispanic Commission's residential services will be organized in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the RFP.Approximately 16 beds are available at the Nuestra Casa
Recovery home for referred clients,with 7 proposed for County use.Nuestra Casa will provide
twenty (20)hours per week of group and individual interventions (Monday through Friday)and
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 6 of 17
an additional six (6)hours on weekends.Residential treatment will consist of the following
service components.
7.Assessment and Treatment Planning
The Counselorand Clinical Supervisor will considerthe totalityof all participants'needs
(substance use, legal,family,social,psychological,health,housing,education,vocational,and
safety)and develop individual service plansthat provide the competencies eachclient requires in
orderto achieve and maintain abstinence and live a healthy,productive life in their community.
Treatment planning begins at the timethat participant is assessed and admitted intothe program.
The Senior Counselor will conduct a psychosocial assessment, Addiction Severity Index (ASI)
and the Hispanic Commission interview protocol. Following the assessment and a review of
records provided by the referring entity, program staff will meet with participant and develop
and individual treatment plan. The initial treatment plan will become the guide for each client's
treatment,recovery service and eventual discharge plan. Plans will contain measurable goals,
time limited objectives, and activities designed to help clients meet their individual goals and
objectives. Service plans will evolve and staff and clients amend them to reflect changing
conditions resulting from each individual's treatment process,meeting objective,the appearance
of new information arising from ongoing assessment, change in treatment status, and changing
living situation or employment.Plan amendments will address any lack of progress, any lapse or
relapse,or other situations which may require new directions in services and supervision.
Each resident will have a plan containing:
•The treatment plan and signed release of information form.
• Plan amendments to be reviewed at least bi-weekly by the Senior Counselor and the
client.
•Authorization of communications (ROI)between treatment staff,family members,
superior court,probation,and other service providers.
• A record of services to which clients are referred,including whether appointments are
kept and when available,the results of these referrals.
•Counseling notes -notes from probation contacts,a record of transfers to other
settings.
•Record of transfers to other settings-re-incarcerations,program terminations,etc.
•Discharge plans that summarize progress made and recommendation s for the future
treatment including continued 12-step meetings,alumni activities and legal
compliance.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 7 of 17
The Senior Counselor and participant will sign all treatment,aftercare,exit plans and
amendments.The original documents will remain inthe master file and a copy will be given to
the client.
Nuestra Casa treatment features include case management, coordination with other
Fresno County services,residential therapeutic treatment,vocational services,job search and
referrals to counseling.Staff also coordinates with local service providers to ensure participants
with mental health andother issues schedule and keep appointments as scheduled.Many clients
also require parenting training,domestic violence or anger management counseling,all of which
are provider through referral to other agencies.Twelve step or other peer support activitieswill
complementtreatment. Nuestra Casaoffers onsite AA/NA meetings3 days per week.
Counselors will also discuss other needs and forms of support clients might benefit from.
This may include referrals for cultural specific services like LGBTQ or HIV/AIDS support
groups, prevention, education, confidential testing, counseling, HIV, or spiritual counseling.
8.Case Management
The overarching program goal is to provide participants with knowledge,emotional and
spiritual growth,life skills, and competencies that clients will need to maintain abstinence and
lead healthy productive,self-sufficient lives. Case management will bring all of the necessary
supportive elements together to ensure that each participant receives the services required to
succeed in his recovery.The case management provided will include a holistic view of the
participant,addressing not only substance abuse,but educational,family, social,housing,and
other needs to help participants achieve self-sufficiency.Counselors will intervene,when
appropriate,utilizing a strength-based orientation that considers an individual's and a family's
strengths to help participants remain abstinent and direct resources to address their needs.
Improvisation,community collaboration,and resource coordination are the cornerstones of
successful case management and our program will utilize these tools. Case management
activities will include evaluation,assessment,service planning,review,coordination with other
providers,and encouraging client feedback on the effectiveness of treatment.
9.Coordination
The Hispanic Commission will work closely with the County and others providers to
coordinate clients'treatment planning and services.Copies of Treatment Plans and
modification,discharge,and continuing care plans will be sent to all required stakeholders.At
intake collaborators will be involved to provide insight into client needs,risks,and behaviors to
complete treatment plans.In the event a client's drug test comes back positive or he leaves
treatment,the referring entity will be notified within 24 hours.Other areas in which
coordination is essential include:
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 8 of 17
•Coordination with appropriate services to ensure clients with co-occurring disorders
or otherissues schedule and attend counseling sessions;
• Coordinationwith the other FresnoCounty program services;
• Coordinationwith mentalhealth counselinggroups for clients;
•Coordination with organizations to ensure individuals with HIV/AIDS,Hepatitis C,
TB,andother communicable diseases receive the care and medication required for
their condition.
• Coordinationof step-upsand step-downsin treatment with other stakeholders;
• Coordinationof dischargeplanningand communitycare.
10.Drug Testing
The Hispanic Commission will provide random drug testing to all clients utilizing DOT
approved instant drug screening devices manufactured by MedTox Diagnostic. These devices
test for Amphetamine,Cocaine,Opiates,Benzodyazepines and Marijuana and other drugs.
Results are documented in each client's file.Positive findings are reported immediately to the
referring agency followed by a staffing with program personnel and representatives from the
referring agency. Once recommendations are received appropriate action is taken.
11.Crisis Intervention
Staff of the Hispanic Commission's programs receive initial and annual follow-up
training in evaluating and providing crisis intervention.Staff is trained to evaluate situations to
determine the nature of the crises (emotional, physical, or spiritual) and to intervene
appropriately. They are trained to know when and how to intervene directly and when outside
intervention is needed.Staff is fully trained when to call 911,crisis hotlines,as well as on-call
staff and therapists. Training also teaches staff how to avoid making a situation worse or
creating additional harm through a failed intervention.
12.Referrals
Referrals for other services are integrated into the residential treatment program. Clients
will take part in the standard residential program,as well as specialized groups and individual
counseling designed for substance abusers at risk of criminal activity. These include: During the
substance abuse services,Counselors will refer clients to service providers indicated in their
treatment plans and make follow-up contacts to ensure that they keep their appointments and,
when indicated, discuss the services (subject to confidentiality limits) with the other providers.
In some cases,referrals will be arranged and carried out by the Hispanic Commission.Referrals
will include:benefits eligibility and application,housing,vocational counseling,education (i.e.,
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 9 of 17
community college or university enrollments),domestic violence and anger management
counseling,financial assistance,legal counsel,family services,medical and mental health
services.
Clients with Co-occurring disorders will be referred to a Clinical Psychologist and other
mental health professionals in the community.The Hispanic Commission will place heavy
emphasis on vocational preparation to help participants find work because clients often have
poor work histories.Most referrals will also be enrolled in anger management,domestic
violence, and parenting skills workshops.
13.Treatment Program Accessibility and Compliance with the Americans for Disability Act
All of the Hispanic Commission's programs will continue to comply with the ADA
requirements.
C.Target Population:
The clients served by the Hispanic Commission include the following:
•Monolingual Spanish-speaking men with substance use disorders;
•
•
•
Spanish-speaking clients who have co-occurring substance abuse/dependence and
mental health disorders;
Residents of Fresno County;and
Underserved populations such as the disabled and low-income individuals.
E.Minimum Duration and Intensity
The Hispanic Commission will provide a minimum of twenty (20) hours SUD-focused
face-to-face individual and group activity for each client scheduled from Mondays through
Fridays and a minimum of six (6) hours of face-to-face individual and group activity scheduled
on Saturday and/or Sunday for a total of 26 hours per week.Face-to-face individual sessions are
one-on-one (counselor/client).Group sessions include a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12
individuals.Records will be kept to clearly identify the hours of SUD-focused individual and
group activity for clients each week.
A large amount of research documents that any delay in the treatment process can have
serious consequences for the entire recovery path. While this is true for all substance-dependent
populations,it is particularly relevant for Latinos.Consequently the Hispanic Commission will
systematically manage enrollment levels in order to reduce waiting lists.The treatment program
is specifically designed with a Latino cultural orientation.As such,the activities are primarily
geared to assist Latinos with their recovery from any substance-related problems and prepare
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 10 of 17
them to challenge other life problems.Any individual experiencing a predominate involvement
with alcoholism or drug use or related problems and who is willing to comply with the program's
requirements will be eligible for participation in the program. No individual will be admitted
who, in the judgment of personnel:
•Exhibits behavior dangerous to staff or others;
• Is not ambulatory;
• Requires immediate medical evaluation and medical or nursing care;
• Has a history of felony charges related to bodily harm or assault;
All individuals screened by the Counselor or Clinical Supervisor that meet the criteria
will be accepted and listed in the Hispanic Commission's manual files and in an electronic
database after the screening process is complete and they have been found eligible. The intake
process focuses on an assessment of the participant's service needs. Participants will be
provided with all forms, financial agreements, rules and regulations, person rights, etc., which
specify conditions under which they may be terminated from the program. The grounds for
termination include arriving at the program while under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
violence or threats of violence against other participants or staff, and possession or concealment
of firearms,explosives or other weapons. After the screening process the log/file will be
generated and those placed on the waiting list are asked to call the Hispanic Commission on a
daily basis.
The Hispanic Commission follows the protocols recommended by the DBH Provider
Waiting List as required by Title 45, Code of Federal Regulations,§96.126 (C). Specific forms
are completed to track the person's name,telephone,first letter of the applicants name, gender of
applicant (1 for male, 2 for female),and the birth date of the applicant MMDDYY.Other
information includes status specific to drug and alcohol usage,Medi-Cal eligibility and SSI/SSP
benefits,services requested,date entered or removed from the waiting list, days on the waiting
list,referral to interim services,and reason removed from waiting list.Completed forms will be
submitted to the County on a monthly basis and copies will be retained at the program site.
Waiting list priorities are the same as the admission priorities indicated above.The Case
Manager and/or Counselors not only ask applicants to call in daily,staff also call them weekly to
update them regarding their status and to keep them interested.The agency will serve all persons
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 11 of 17
deemed eligible for the program and who are committed to the treatment program.An individual
is removed from the waiting list only after he enters into treatment or indicates that treatment is
no longer desired.
F.Counseling Services
The Fresno HispanicCommission's treatment approachprovidesresidentialtreatment
services to Latino males following these guidelines:
1.Outreach must be intensive and persuasive in order to convince clients that a residential
program can benefit them. Potential clients must be at a point in their substance abuse
cyclethat they feel a need for help in overcomingtheir dependency.
2. The residential staff should be primarily male since Latino males are sometimes hesitant
to accept assistance from a female.
3. Services offered must be designed to address multiple Substance Use Disorders (SUD),
with alcohol which is often the primary substance. The treatment program must be
structured to allow men to discuss their feelings, believes, attitudes, and opinions without
fear of censor.
4. Group sessions encourage participants to identify and resolve alcohol and other drug
related problems,to examine personal attitudes and behaviors and provide support for
positive change in lifestyle leading to recovery.
5.Private counseling is available on a scheduled basis and as needed for each client.
6.Family members and significant others will be required to participate in family sessions.
Under the direction of Program Director and Clinical Supervisor,the Fresno Hispanic
Commission's program for Latino clients is designed to place trained counselors and clients into
a therapeutic climate that totally moves the client away from SUD's for a period of up to 90
days.During this time period,the program addresses all physical needs of the client from food
and shelter to medical needs. The cognitive behavioral program employs professionals and
paraprofessionals who are nurturing,caring and yet disciplined and structured.
The treatment environment includes individual and group therapy sessions that openly
and honestly address critical,social and cultural values.All paraprofessionals involved receive
training so that they can use cognitive behavioral counseling techniques,complete a treatment
plan and,facilitate group interaction.
The program also provides a range of support services.These include medical and
mental health consultation,educational training,recreational therapy,career and job training and
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 12 of 17
other services such as self-help groups (12-step program and or church support systems)as
critical components of the services offered.
Individual counseling sessions play an important role in the treatment system.They
provide a forum in which to discuss critical issues,manage short-term crises,and explore
personal resources such as family issues.Sessions are both regularly scheduled and impromptu.
Independent of format,these sessions help keep participants focused on recovery or issues clients
may be reluctant to bring up in groups. Each client receives a minimum of one half-hour of
individual counseling per month.Clients with urgent needs,as well as those preparing to be
discharged,generally receive additional counseling as needed.
Job preparation is important to help clients with little if any formal employment
experience to develop realistic work expectations and identify jobsor careers they enjoy and in
which they can take excel.Vocational assistance challenges poor behaviors such as
helplessness,dishonesty,and criminality by helping clients understand the connection between
work and self-determination.The agency believes that regular wages lead to security and
dignity.Vocational services begin with an assessment of the client's interests,work history,
educational level,hobbies and aptitudes.The process helps clients develop occupational plans
and mediate behaviors such as lack of punctuality,poor work habits and personal motivation,
which are associated with substance abuse.The Hispanic Commission also addresses basics
such as the need to get a driver's license and proper identification,how to find jobs,fill out
applications, schedule appointment,how to dress for an interview, how to conduct oneself at an
interview (verbal language, i.e., the need to make eye contact, how to sit, how to address the
interviewer).These subjects are followed by more advanced concepts:how to construct a budget
and manage money,securing an apartment,subscribing to utilitiesand openinga bank account.
Mock interviews and role-play simulations play a major role in helping residents acquire new
skills.Participants are assigned tasks and responsibilities in the process like setting up and
breakingdown group meeting spaces, cleaningand maintenance,helping in the kitchen,ant other
tasks which help to build self-esteem,address interpersonal problem solving,and aide in team
building.Onceclientsmasterthe basics,theyare referred to key community programs.
G.Psycho Educational Groups
Individual and group sessions will be scheduled to provide for a wide varietyof psycho
educational counseling designed to meet the needs of individual clients. These sessions may
address issues like physical, emotional,social,psychological and cultural effectsof co-occurring
substance abuse/dependence and mental health disorders;life skills and resources; domestic
violence; self-help philosophy and how to develop peer support.
The activities of the staff and volunteers consist of effective intervention on behalf of the
targeted monolingual Hispanic population at the points of crisis within the alcohol and drug
abuse cycle. These points of impact include the courts and the justice system, detox and
emergency facilities, impacted families,employment related agencies and church organizations.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 13 of 17
Education groups are conducted by the counselor in a lecture format following the
culture-specific treatment curriculum.These materials explore substance abuse from a
biological,psychological,family,social,and spiritual perspective.The groups address the
physical,social,psychological,emotional and cultural effects of alcohol and drug use on the
well-being of not only the clients, but also, their families.Relations with others are discussed as
a path to recovery or relapse depending on the natureof the relationship.The role of stressand
anger management is presented as a tool to advance recovery.Both self-help philosophy and
peer support are discussed as critical elements of recovery.Educational/vocational training are
integrated into the curriculum.
The curriculum is supplemented by a journal book, which contains written exercises that
clients complete away from the group. Participants present their exercises and discuss them with
group members.The Hispanic Commission uses Spanish language of the journal exercises that
enable individuals with limited literacy skills in either language to formulate verbal responses
that they can then present to the group.
Peer groups provide a supportive environment in which participants can collectively
bring about changes in their attitudes and behaviors. Peer groups rely on the group process to
promote openness as well as insight among participants.Groups are direct, but not
confrontational,and no participants or staff is allowed to belittle another client.Peer groups
feature joint problem-solving exercises and can be very flexible, enabling staff to structure them
to meet emerging needs, move forward or backward, to respond to changes in the emotional
dynamics of the group. Peer groups provide an opportunity for members to serve as role models,
and the process helps participants share the personal impact of substance abuse on themselves
and their families
Peer associations are a strong force in the initiation of drug use. Similarly, treatment
programs support the recovery process through the use of peer associations.Staff will utilize
group treatment plans in order to integrate peer support into the treatment program. Space will
be shared with AA and NA in order to make peer support and self-help easily available.
Cultural competency is not merely a program component for the Hispanic Commission
but an operational principal expressed by the phrase "la Cultura Cura ".At its roots,alcoholism
and drug addiction destroys the web of solidarity that nurtures and maintains individuals,
families and communities.Alcoholism drowns the values and behavior characteristics of a
culture. The Hispanic Commission services are designed to lead clients to the harmony of a
sober life style by bringing about restoration and healing in a culturally specific context.
Cultural Principles:The Hispanic Commission team has integrated five basic cultural
principles into its treatment approach:
Family:The extended network of blood and fraternal relations.This traditional support system
is weakened by addiction related behavior and requires mending and restoration.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 14 of 17
Respect:The reciprocal difference and appreciative inquiry for mutual wellbeing.It is a truism
within the Hispanic culture that "respect"for self and the rights of others is the basis of peace.
Respeto is the ointment for interpersonal conflicts,which are one of the most damaging
consequences of addiction.
Education:Education is not limited to schooling,but includes traditional "knowledge"acquired
from elders and mentors.Respected elders are frequently referred toas '"maestro"and their
advice is solicited respectfully.
Work:The obligation that one should be involved in activities generating value,helping others,
creating beauty,fostering life,and providing for ones charges.This isnot limited to
employment,although that is a significantcomponent for most adults.
Spirituality:Best described asa sense ofthe individual's relationship toall creation and all
beings -a reverence for all life.This is not limited to formal religion which is merely an
expression of spirituality.
Relapse
Relapse is part of the recovery process. In a controlled environment such as this
program,the Hispanic Commission does not normally encounter alcohol and other drug use by
clients.Clients may at times encounter opportunities for alcohol or drug use when they leave the
treatment facilities to apply for work or receive other services.The Hispanic Commission
addresses relapse prevention in individual and group counseling throughout the course of
treatment.Relapse prevention is addressed not only in prevention groups,but also in education,
health,re-entry and virtually any group or individual session in which it is relevant.Staff helps
participants identify the circumstances and behaviors that lead to substance useand develop new
positive responses to these events.The Hispanic Commission helps clients develop clean and
sober social support networks and participate in AA, NA and alumni groups in addition to
treatment and recovery services to help them remain abstinent following discharge.Relapse
prevention activities at discharge focuses onjobs,housing,family issues,and independent living.

The Hispanic Commission utilizes the American Society of Addition Medicine (ASAM)
criteria with it clients at Nuestra Casa. The ASAM criteria provide separate placement criteria
for adolescents and adults to create comprehensive and individualized treatment plans. The
treatment plans are developed through a multidimensional patient assessment over five broad
levels of treatment that are based on the degree of direct medical management, the structure,
safety and security provided, and the intensity of treatment services provided. The six
dimensions of multidimensional assessment are:
1.Acute Intoxication and/or Withdrawal Potential.
2.Biomedical Conditions and Complications.
3.Emotional,Behavioral,or Cognitive Conditions and Complications.
4.Readiness to Change
5.Relapse,Continued Use,or Continued Problem Potential.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 16 of 17
6.Recovery Living Environment.
The Hispanic Commission is proposing 60 days of residential treatment to clients divided
into a three-phase program. Peers and staff will review progress and make their decisionsbased
upon the client's attitude toward others,progress on therapeutic issues,honesty in dealing with
issues,and openness in the group discussion.The requirements of program graduation are to
have completed the curriculum, to be in good standing with one's peers and staff, and have
completed the requirements of each phase. A graduation ceremony will be held at the end of the
program to commemorate each client's completion of treatment.
The minimum length of primarytreatment will not be less then one day and the treatment
plan will be designed not to exceed 60 days.During the first 45 days discharge planning will
developed and if additional days are needed beyond 60 days a request will be made to the
Behavioral Health Contracts Division prior to the client's 45th day of service.
A daily census will be maintained for all clients including all the statistics required by
Fresno County and the State of California including complete records of services, referral
services, and progress notes of all counseling services. In addition the Commission has
established and will continue to adhere to its Continuous Quality Improvement, Utilization
Review and Cultural Competence Plans copies of each are included in this proposal.
A continuing care plan will be drawn up for each client. The plan will list each client's
unmet needs, risks, and strengths and weave them into a blueprint for the client to follow and
remain abstinent. All clients will participate in AA/NA and other peer support/self help
activities during treatment and will be expected to continue activities during care. The Hispanic
Commission will attempt to integrate unemployed clients and those with little ability to pay for
services into continuing care treatment slots supported by other funding sources. The agency
will work with other outpatient providers to find accessible treatment slots. The Hispanic
Commission will coordinate discharge planning and have copies of each client's signed
discharge plan. For Services other that AOD treatment,staff will contact providers of those
services (subject to signed client consent forms and/or Qualified Service Agreements)to let them
know that the client is leaving treatment effective on a certain date and to make sure that other
providers begin to work with participants to insure their continued participation in physical and
mental health,educational,social and other services.
I.Outcomes
Given that the agency serves a high-risk population with serious addiction,physical and
mental health,and vocational problems,the Hispanic Commission is proposing the following
performance outcome objections:
•Ninety percent of clients will remain in treatment for a minimum of 60 days.
•Eighty percent of clients will successfully complete the 60-day treatment program.
Exhibit A-Scope of Work
Page 17 of 17
•Seventy-five percent of clients will be employed at the time they complete treatment.
The Hispanic Commission will work closely with other providers to transition clients
from the residential level of service to a lower level of outpatient service.Contact will be
maintained with the outpatient service provider to monitor the client's success in terms of
abstinence from AOD use,criminal involvement,employment,social support,treatment needs,
and CFS involvement.Required outcomes will be measured at intake,discharge and post
treatment (one year follow-up).Data will be collected and reported to the County as required.
Timeline:
Outcomes for each client will be measured
1.At intake
2. At discharge - either 60-90 days.
3.12 months after discharge.
Measured outcomes will include:
•Abstinence from AOD use.
•Criminal involvement.
•Employement status.
•CPS involvement.
•Social support/connections.
•Treatment of co-occurring disorders.
J.Key Staffing Requirement
Staffing: All staffing requirements called for in the RFP are met by the Commission staff.
Language:All staff associated withthe ResidentialServicewill be fluent in Spanishwhich
is their "Language of Comfort" as well as that of the clients. This ability provides staffwith
cultural awareness of the meaning, idioms, slang usage, and various contexts in which the
Spanish language is used and avoids the confusion and miscommunication associated with direct
translation of English into Spanish.
