Problem Identification
Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Monroe County Board of Commissioners
10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
South Florida, including Monroe County and the Florida Keys, continues to have the unfortunate
distinction of being designated as a high -intensity drug trafficking area and, as such, is a leading
illicit drug importation area. This, of course, has increased the availability of illicit drugs in Monroe
County resulting in drug abuse rates higher than both the state and national averages. Specifically
in regards to the female population of Monroe County which is the population of focus for this
grant request, the latest Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey compiled by the Florida
Department of Health reports rates of drug involvement as over twice that of the state average
and four times that of the much larger Miami -Dade County to the north. The Agency for
Healthcare Administration in its Emergency Department and Inpatient Hospitalization Data of
2011 publication indicates that female residents of our county had over twice the state rate per
100,000 population for emergency room treatment for acute drug intoxication. In addition, Monroe
has over twice the state average for DUI arrests and, consequently, almost three times the state
average for vehicular deaths involving drug use. For women with children, statistics from the
Florida Department of Children and Families indicate that 57% of foster care placements were as
a result of substance abuse by the mother between April 2011 and March 2012.
For many drug involved women, the obsession surrounding use and attainment of illicit and legal
drugs of abuse often lead to legal involvement, criminal conduct, neglect of family and self, and
ultimately incarceration. In addition; the destruction of parent -child relationships, increased
domestic violence, increased crime, child abuse and neglect, foster care placement, divorce,
stress on the legal and medical systems of a county with very limited resources, and global
negative effects on our communities and quality of life are also directly affected. Recognizing the
significant need for appropriate treatment among greater numbers of incarcerated women whose
level of drug involvement is such that they would not benefit from available outpatient treatment
and who are often the primary caretakers of children, the Guidance Care Center along with the
Monroe County Sheriffs Office created the Jail Housed Drug Treatment Program located within
the Monroe County Detention Center in 1992. It remains today as one of the few such programs
operated within a county jail in Florida and the only opportunity for women to receive intensive
drug abuse treatment within Monroe County. Moreover, these women are able to get treatment
quickly instead of being one of the 66% of substance abusing Florida residents who desire help
but are unable to access treatment due to Florida's lengthy waiting list for substance abuse
services as reported by the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
In 1992, The Jail Incarceration Program (JIP) was developed in the Monroe County Detention
Center and began providing substance abuse treatment services to county inmates to lay the
foundation for sustained recovery. The majority of clients are court ordered by the Drug Court,
Circuit Court and County Court Judges in Monroe County.

The rest enter the program as volunteers who have met the criteria for drug/alcohol treatment and
will be in the county jail a minimum of 182 days. This year's funding will allow services begun with
last year's grant to continue for this population in the detention center.
Client -centered individualized treatment plans tailored to the needs of women are a cornerstone of
gender -responsive treatment. After developing these plans in partnership with the program
participant, treatment plan reviews, case management services to provide community linkages
and monthly self -reports of progress continue to refine the plan. On -going program review occurs
through monthly focus groups with administrative staff and participants. The Global Assessment
of Individual Needs (GAIN) instrument provides a comprehensive assessment of client needs and
assists in developing a person -centered Wellness Plan that is updated with the participant every
30 days. Admission policies are welcoming to individuals with co-occurring disorders, learning
disabilities, and illiteracy, as well as other special individualized needs. This allows access for all
who probably otherwise would not receive services.
For women with a mental illness as well as drug addiction, a Mental Health Status Assessment
identifies impairments in functioning. Once identified, the client receives a referral to a mental
health counselor and the Prison Health Services psychiatrist as well as participating in services to
address the substance use disorder and criminal thinking and behavior. Treatment of mental
illness is monitored by program staff as a vital part of recovery from substance abuse. Participants
are given appointments with the Guidance Care Center psychiatrist upon completion of the
program and release from incarceration and assigned a case worker to help them with
appointments, treatment adherence, accessing of community services and medication assistance.
Psychotropic medications are provided free of charge to participants who cannot afford their
medications or who do not have insurance coverage.
Treatment in the program is a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year. Aftercare
services are encouraged as a part of re-entry planning and last up to six months once the
participant is released. The Guidance/Care Center provides aftercare throughout the Florida Keys
in community -based facilities. Aftercare is given priority and participants are enrolled before they
are released. These services are not funded by the grant and are available to all participants
regardless of ability to pay.
Program and corrections conduct random drug testing and positive tests resulting in 30 days in
lock -up and a return to court for judicial review of the case. Tests used are the Reditest 10 panel
dip sticks testing for amphetamine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, synthetic opiates, THC,
PCP, barbiturates, MDMA and methadone. The program also has a relationship with the local
drug court to run tests on their spectrometry machine if test results are questionable which helps
to identify those who may have attempted to be dishonest by trying to mask the results.
Program services will be delivered using an evidence based practice Cogitative Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) curriculum entitled "Substance Abuse and Criminal Conduct: Strategies for Self
Improvement and Change Pathways to Responsible Living" authored by Harvey Milkman and
Kenneth Wanberg. Throughout the treatment episode participants use a client workbook that
belongs to them. The cost of that workbook is $22.00 per copy. Use of this workbook is subject to
change as more advanced evidenced -based treatment resources become available but will not
exceed the $22.00 cost. Treatment in the correctional setting will incorporate trauma -informed
and gender -responsive treatment

through the use of the evidenced -based "Seeking Safety" treatment model to promote the healing
and edification of the human spirit. Seeking Safety offers 25 treatment topics, each with a clinician
guide and client handouts. The seven interpersonal topics are Asking for Help, Honesty, Setting
Boundaries in Relationships, Healthy Relationships, Community Resources, Healing from Anger,
and Getting Others to Support Your Recovery. The seven behavioral topics are Detaching from
Emotional Pain: Grounding, Taking Good Care of Yourself, Red and Green Flags, Commitment,
Coping with Triggers, Respecting Your Time, and Self -Nurturing. The seven cognitive topics are
PTSD: Taking Back Your Power, Compassion, When Substances Control You, Recovery
Thinking, Integrating the Split Self, Creating Meaning, and Discovery. In addition, four
combination topics are Introduction to Treatment / Case Management, Safety, The Life Choices
Game (Review), and Termination. These relational models support the development of healthy
relationships with self, significant others, and the community at large in order to reduce the risk of
relapse and recidivism. Staff will use individual and group formats to deliver core services.
The specific components of the treatment services will include:
>Education about addiction to include relapse prevention and the consequences of criminal
behavior
>Anger and emotional control
>Trauma -informed care and treatment to include sexual abuse and domestic violence
>A range of informational, emotional, and behavioral options to strengthen self and family
>Improving abilities to cope with their children and the world around them.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, DIRECTING STAFF TO ORGANIZE

REQUIRE A MATCH BY MONROE COUNTY; AND MAINTAINING
ALL EXISTING REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS AND
ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT AWARDS THAT DO REQUIRE A MATCH
BY MONROE COUNTY.
WHEREAS, Monroe County has been impacted by recent legislature and the subsequent
need to significantly cut budgets; and
WHEREAS, it is our desire to continue to provide outstanding public service responsive
to the needs of our citizens, community, and environment despite the impact of these budget
cuts; and
WHEREAS, currently, the Board must approve all applications for grants prior to
submission, which can cause a delay of up to six weeks, at times delaying the grant application
until the next submission cycle, as well as adding unnecessarily to the Board agenda; and
WHEREAS, it is unnecessary to delay acceptance of grants awarded to the County that
do not require any matching funds, again adding unnecessarily to the Board agenda; and

requires improved coordination between Divisions and will result in a significantly increased
number of grant applications; now, therefore,

MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, HEREBY:
Directs Division staff to coordinate grant opportunity research and application
submission with the Project Manager to the County Administrator.
