Most of the questions have been raised by officials in State offices which are responsible for administration of this federally funded grant program. This document provides guidance regarding the program provisions and requirements. PURPOSE Question: Answer: ELIGIBILITY Question: Answer: What is the purpose of the RSA T for Local Corrections Prisoners Program? The purpose of the program is to assist units of local government to develop and implement residential substance abuse treatment programs in local correctional and detention facilities in which prisoners are incarcerated for a period of time sufficient to permit substance abuse treatment. Who is eligible to apply? Eligible applicants include a Board of County Commissioners and Chairman or designated representative thereof representing a county in the State of Florida. AVAILABLE FUNDING Question: Answer: What amount of funds is available to support RSAT programs and for what period of time is it available? A total of $1,500,000 is available to fund RSAT programs. The maximum amount of federal funds awarded per subgrant will not exceed $150,000 for a grant period projected to begin not before February 15, 2002, and to run through February 14, 2004. Subject to fund availability, models which are successfully implemented will be eligible to receive another award in an equal amount for an additional 12 months. SFY 2003 SubQrant Application PackaQe Section 1 Page 2 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement MATCHING FUND REQUIREMENT Question: Is there a matching fund requirement? Answer: Yes. The federal share of the program may not exceed 75 percent of the total program. The 25 percent matching fund requirement must be in the form of a cash match. Cash match is defined as cash spent for project-related costs which are allowable applications of federal funds. Federal funds may not be used as match. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN Question: What are the basic program design requirements? Answer: Programs shall: · Last between six and 12 months. Each offender with a substance abuse problem must participate in the program for not less than six nor more than 12 months, unless he or she drops out or is terminated; · Be provided in residential treatment facilities set apart from the general correctional population (totally separate facilities or a dedicated housing unit within a facility exclusively for use by program participants); kitchen and recreational facilities may be shared with the general correctional population, but offenders served under these programs must otherwise be separated; · Focus on the substance abuse problems of the inmate; · Develop the inmate's cognitive, behavioral, social, vocational, and other skills to solve the substance abuse and related problems; and, · Have in place and continue to require or agree to implement urinalysis and/or other proven reliable forms of drug and alcohol testing of individuals assigned to residential substance abuse treatment programs in correctional facilities. The applicant must include a description in the subgrant application of its current drug testing program, the number of offenders tested, and plans to expand or continue these programs. Question: Will funding preference be given to program models meeting enhanced requirements? Answer: Yes. Funding preference will be given to programs which: · Feature individualized treatment plans incorporating aftercare services. · Exhibit linkages to aftercare services. Linkages shall be evidenced by Letters of Intent drawn-up on aftercare agency letterhead and signed by authorized representatives. Subgrant applications with letters which clearly indicate that RSA T graduates will be given priority-access to aftercare services will receive SFY 2003 Subgrant Application Package Page 3 Section 1 Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement additional preference. · Provide residential treatment facilities that are totallv secarate from the general correctional population (programs which share kitchen and recreational facilities with the general correctional population will not receive preference). · Are new programs, Le., the subgrant application must state that the program is a new program and indicate that residential substance abuse treatment services will not be available in the planned area of service unless the subgrant application is awarded. The subgrant application must clearly indicate that the proposed program does not represent an enhancement or expansion of a pre-existing program in order to receive preference. Can the program be designed to last less than six months? No. Federal statutes require that the program last between six and 12 months. A subgrant-funded program should accept inmates who can participate in the residential phase of the program for at least six months. Can inmates participate in the program for longer than twelve months? No. Studies have shown that the effectiveness of a residential treatment program begins to decrease if the offender remains in the program too long. This is not to suggest that offenders will not require additional treatment and support after the residential portion of the program. The program should be designed with at least two phases, Le., the grant-supported residential phase, followed by an intensive and comprehensive aftercare program which is not grant-supported. Can funds be used to treat offenders who abuse alcohol? Yes. Substance abuse refers to both alcohol and drug abuse. Must the program be located within a jail? No. Residential treatment may be provided in conventional jail facilities, as well as boot camps, halfway houses, residential community corrections programs, and other similar types of residential correctional facilities. Can the program be designed to provide, for example, three months of residential treatment in an institution and the balance in a residential correctional facility, such as a halfway house, in the community? Yes, as long as the residential portion of the program lasts between six and twelve months. If the program is split, the two residential components must be coordinated to provide a continuity of services. An aftercare component should still be available to provide treatment services and support to the offenders after release from the community residential component. SFY 2003 Subgrant Application Package Section 1 Page 4 Question: Answer: AFTERCARE Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement The treatment facility must be set apart or totally separate from the general correctional population. What does "set apart" or "totally separate" mean? "Set apart" and "totally separate" mean a building, component, or dedicated housing unit within a correctional facility that is exclusively for use by program participants. It should have a dedicated space for housing and for program activities. Program participants may share facilities with the general population for meals, recreation, general education and other activities. May grant funds be used to pay for aftercare services? No. Grant funds may only be used for the residential portion of a treatment program. Guidelines indicate that preference will be given to applicants that provide aftercare services to program participants. Does this mean that programs without an aftercare component could be funded? Yes. However, the State is required to give preference to programs which provide aftercare because research indicates that such programs are much more effective if aftercare services are provided. If an offender is returned to the general population after completing the residential substance abuse program, can we provide aftercare within the facility? Aftercare refers to nonresidential community-based services, including treatment, support, and monitoring of the offender, which follows release from the residential treatment program. Generally, offenders should be placed in a residential treatment program during the last six to twelve months of their sentence in a residential facility so that they can be released directly into a community-based aftercare program. If an offender is returned to the general population, he or she should be provided with support services within the institution and should be placed in an aftercare program when returned to the community. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS Question: Answer: Question: Can grant funds be used to provide substance abuse treatment in juvenile facilities? Yes. Must an offender be sentenced to jail to qualify for participation in a grant- funded treatment program? SFY 2003 SubQrant Application PackaQe Section 1 Page 5 Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement No. The offender must be sentenced to or held in a residential facility operated by a local correctional agency. The facility may be an institution, such as a jailor boot camp, or in the community, such as a halfway house or a community corrections program. Can the courts sentence directly to a community-based residential treatment program? Grant funds may be used to support residential substance abuse treatment programs in correctional facilities which serve as an alternative to incarceration and accept offenders directly from the courts. Can grant funds be used to establish a community-based residential treatment program which serves as an intermediate sanction for probation or parole violators rather than returning them to prison? Yes, as long as the program meets the other basic required criteria. Can grant funds be used to buy slots or pay for services for offenders in a private treatment facility? No. The program must be in a correctional facility. Could a correctional facility use grant funds to contract with a private entity to provide services within a correctional facility? Yes. DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING REQUIREMENT Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Each grant recipient must have in place and continue to require or agree to implement urinalysis and/or other proven reliable forms of drug and alcohol testing of individuals assigned to residential substance abuse programs in correctional facilities. Does this apply to all of the grant recipient's residential substance abuse treatment programs or only those that are grant funded? Although grant recipients are encouraged to test individuals in all corrections substance abuse treatment programs, this requirement only applies to grant- funded activities. May grant funds be used to implement the drug testing requirement? Yes, but only the costs associated with testing offenders while in the grant- funded program may be paid with grant funds. SFY 2003 Subgrant Application Package Page 6 Section 1 SUPPLANTING Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement May grant funds be used to expand or enhance an existing residential substance abuse treatment program? Yes. Grant funds may be used for the expanded or enhanced portion of an existing program. However, grant funds may not be used to supplant or replace existing non-federal funds. Can the residential substance abuse treatment program funds be used to continue a program currently funded by another federal grant program? Yes. Although the intent of this program is to increase the availability of treatment programs for offenders, these funds could be used to continue a program currently funded by another federal grant program. However, the rules related to supplanting would apply to the continuation of programs currently funded with state or local funds. Programs initiated with other federal funds must meet or be modified to meet the requirements for this program. ADMINISTRATION Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Will subgrant recipients receive funding in a lump sum or the normal advance/reimbursement method? Subgrant recipients will receive funding via the advance/reimbursement method. What are allowable costs? Allowable costs are those which are directly associated with the provision of treatment services. Allowable costs are governed according to "General Principals of Allowability and Standards for Selected Cost Items" set forth in the United States Bureau of Justice Assistance Office of Justice Programs' Financial Guide (as amended) and federal Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Circular No. A-8?, "Cost Principles for State and Local Governments."

SFY 2003 Subarant Application Packaae Page 26 Section 5 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Pro Florida Department of Law Enforcement E. Program Description/Objectives 1. Begin with an executive-style summary which is approximately one page in length describing the project to be funded with RSAT funds. Start below. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION/TARGET GROUP Over sixty per cent of the inmates currently housed in the Monroe County Detention Center have charges related to substance abuse, which is pervasive in Monroe County. These inmates need help with anger management, domestic abuse, job and housing placements, educational and literacy improvements, aftercare, mental health counseling, referrals, and pharmacological assessments. During the years that the Jail Incarceration Program has been available, it has had a positive impact. SOLUTION The Jail Incarceration Program is an in house substance abuse treatment program. It began in 1997, funded by a Byrne Grant, and has served approximately 800 inmates with a thirty percent recidivism rate as compared to seventy per cent for inmates in general. The Care Center for Mental Health operates the program, holds the substance abuse treatment license for the jail, and provides the administrative and case management services as mandated by Florida Administrative Code 10-E16. Under the RSAT grant, the program was expanded and enhanced. This year we expected to serve 75 inmates and will serve over 100. The inmates (male) are housed in a separate dorm. They have liaison and advocacy if needed to help them get treatment in this program or another appropriate one. All participants are screened to determine special needs, and an individualized treatment plan is written for each. That plan is reviewed monthly and any adjustments are made as needed. The program includes special counseling in anger management, domestic abuse, parenting classes, life skills, and mental health counseling. Inmates are screened and referred for educational and/or vocational training, transitional housing, aftercare, work release, and medical assistance. This helps increase success in recovery and decrease the criminal activity associated with substance abuse. Referrals will be made for inmates that need English as a second language, literacy skill improvements, and GED classes. Life skills classes address how to look for work, fill out a job application, write a resume, obtain a job (in conjunction with work release), apply for educational assistance, provide basic communications skills, and how to mentor. Two additional computers allow us to teach computer literacy, another vital skill. The program will continue in its present form. The emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive therapy (RET) is its backbone. The twelve-step approach, life skills, and art/music therapy provide a well-rounded approach. Enhancements of the program include new components. The local community college, in conjunction with the Detention Center, will offer vocational classes to inmates who qualify, with first preference being the inmates in JIP. They will be transported to classes to obtain a Certification in Small Engine Repair. This will enable them to get employment repairing marine engines, a viable occupation here in the Keys. Parenting classes were added this year, and there will be a new portion of the program that will address the impulsiveness that is the root of addictive and criminal thinking. Materials will include workbooks that discuss intake and orientation, criminal and addictive thinking, socialization, relapse and prevention, and reintegration preparation for chemically dependent offenders. The Detention Center operates a farm and petting zoo, in which inmates in the program participate. They receive a Certificate in Animal Husbandry, and the opportunity to be outside and work with the animals is very therapeutic. Treatment will continue to be six months, with two months priority aftercare provided by the Care Center for Mental Health. OBJECTIVES The number of inmates expected to complete the program is 125. SFY 2003 Subarant Application Packaae Page 27 Section 5 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Program Florida Department of Law Enforcement moom~~ It is also projected that: 70% of the inmates served will successfully complete the aftercare program, 98% of the inmates served in the program will remain drug free while participating in it, 70% of the inmates served will not test positive for drugs during aftercare, 80% of the inmates served will not violate probation during aftercare, and 70% of the inmates served will not return to jail during the first year after release. The program coordinator must hold a Master's degree in counseling and Psychology, be a Certified Addictions Professional in Florida, and be a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. The other counselors (currently two full-time and three part-time) must be Certified Addiction Professionals or Licensed Mental Health Counselors. Staff expertise has a direct impact on the program efficiency. Random drug testing is conducted weekly with all the inmates being tested at least once a month. The Program Coordinator further evaluates the program's effectiveness by tracking the inmates who have completed the program through probation and checking for any new arrests in Monroe County and nationwide. For recidivism purposes, a sample of the program's clients is compared to a random sample of inmates who received no treatment. The Program Coordinator reviews all the testing and screening of the clients and makes the final determination for appropriate treatment. The Program Coordinator does counseling in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitivation Re-processing), Reality Therapy, trauma and abuse issues, anger management, and mental health problems.

Describe who will do what, when, where and how. The narrative should be limited to no more than ten pages. Start below. E. Program Description/Objectives 1. Therapeutic Community - The inmates in the program will be housed in a separate dorm from the jail general population to create a treatment setting where the inmates can develop trust and work together. Officers who receive orientation about the program will staff it. The counselors will provide group counseling and recreational activities. Program activities will be held from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Saturday. 2. 12 Step Program - This uses the concepts of the AAlNA recovery program, and is based on 12 steps that lead a person to sobriety. The inmates are exposed to the 12 step concept and it is constantly reinforced.

SFY 2003 SubQrant Application Packaae Page 50 Section 6 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Grant Pro Florida Department of Law Enforcement F Sole Source Justification for Services and Equipment Narrative 1. Presently the Jail Intervention Program operates an in house substance abuse treatment program. This program began in 1997 with a Byrne Grant that ended in October 2001. That program served approximately eight-hundred inmates and ended with a thirty percent recidivism rate as compared to a seventy per cent recidivism rate for inmates in general. Under the RSAT grant the program was expanded and enhanced. The inmates (male) are housed in a separate dorm. Those who volunteer for the program have liaison and advocacy if needed to help them get treatment either in this program or another treatment program deemed appropriate. All inmates in the program are screened to ascertain any special needs and an individualized treatment plan is written for them. The treatment is reviewed every thirty days and updated as needed. The program outlined for them will include any special counseling in the areas of anger management, domestic abuse, parenting classes, life skills, and mental health counseling. They will also be screened and referred for educational and/or vocational training, transitional housing, aftercare, work release, and medical assistance. This helps increase the likelihood of success in recovery and decrease the criminal activity associated with substance abuse. The emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive therapy is the backbone of the program. The twelve-step approach, life skills, and art/music therapy provide a well-rounded approach to the treatment of addiction. An outline of the format is included as well as a schedule for the daily activities. 2. The Care Center for Mental Health has operated a similar program, funded by a Byrne Grant and matching funds from Monroe County, at the Detention Center for four years. They have the expertise, personnel, equipment, and procedures in place to continue this type of program. The only other potentjal providers are the Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys and the Guidance Clinic of the Upper Keys, approximately fifty and seventy-five miles away, respectively. The funding of the program under the Byrne Grant was overseen and recommended by the Substance Abuse Policy Advisory Board, which reviewed program proposals and made funding recommendations to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners. No other proposals for this type of program at the Detention Center were received by the Substance Abuse Policy Advisory Board in recent years. At the beginning of the first year of RSA T funding, February 2001, the Care Center was the only provider ready to "hit the ground running" with this program. 3. The contract period is from February 15, 2003 through February 14, 2004. We believe that several months would be required to find a suitable replacement contractor to provide this service, two or three months for that contractor to hire staff, and there is a good chance that none would be available. 4. The present staff and program coordinator have developed a program designed to treat each client based on their individual needs. As a result of Substance Abuse, most of the clients have lost their ability to function in society. This program addresses the clients' addiction to drugs and alcohol through the Relapse Prevention and Steps. It also addresses the psychological problems of behavior, personality problems, lack of socialization, and criminal attitude through the Moral Reconation Therapy, Anger Management, Parenting Classes, Domestic Abuse Information, and Rational Emotive Therapy. Art and Music Therapy help alleviate stress and develop self-esteem. The Life Skills, Work Relapse, and Farm Detail offer the clients a chance to re-integrate and transition back into the mainstream of the community. The Aftercare helps the clients overcome problems as they occur, without returning to their usual coping means of using drugs and alcohol. This provider has a proven track record of reducing recidivism. The staff is already trained and in place, as is the program. 5. All relevant points in support of this sole source award have been covered above. 6. Monroe County believes that the award of these grant and matching funds to The Care Center for Mental Health to provide this program is in the best interest of the subgrant recipient and the implementing agency.
