The 12th and 45th Judicial Circuits, in collaboration with Preferred Family Healthcare, received a $1.9 million grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to provide treatment services to residents of Audrain, Lincoln, Montgomery, Pike and Warren counties.These funds will provide expanded, consumer-friendly behavioral health services as well as enhanced and expanded wraparound support services to treatment court participants and families residing in the five service area counties.The grant, which provides approximately $399,000 annually, is renewable for a total of five years, subject to the availability of federal funds.The 12th and 45th Circuit Treatment Court Programs, currently presided over by Associate Circuit Judge Michael Wright, Associate Circuit Judge Kelly C. Broniec, Associate Circuit Judge Jim Beck and Associate Circuit Judge David Ash, suffer from an undersupply of behavioral health professionals and transportation options.Further, trauma-responsive services such as the Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM) are not currently available. The lack in of case managers in portions of the service area also creates a gap in supported connections to the wraparound services needed for recovery.In response to these identified gaps, Project Out’s strategies will expand and enhance treatment services for court participants with substance abuse disorders and co-occurring disorders through evidence-based practices. TREM will be delivered through technology-based opportunities, It will be strengthened through trauma responses, transportation assistance, housing support, family resources and additional connections to improve treatment access and effectiveness.The program participants will have access to coordinated community resources, which will be built through active case management and peer support specialist availability.SAMHSA Awards annual grants for treatment services through a competitive application and review process.Warren County Courthouse / Warren County Jail
