City Net <br />Scope of Work <br />Substance Abuse Coordination Services <br />Program Overview: City Net will engage with local detox, treatment, and sober living <br />programs to facilitate a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to refer clients with ties to <br />the city of Santa Ana to substance abuse programs. The SMART program will provide a team <br />of two drug and alcohol counselors to engage and assist clients experiencing substance <br />abuse disorders to detox, treatment, and long-term housing to support the client on their <br />journey to sobriety. <br />Outreach and Engagement: City Net will assign two certified drug and alcohol counselor <br />case managers {DACCMs) to engage with clients who are struggling with substance abuse. <br />Outreach and engagement efforts focus on attending to the clients' immediate needs of <br />safety, food, hydration to build trust and rapport and a foundation with the client. Once trust <br />is established, the DACCMs will work collaboratively with the client to create a treatment plan <br />that will support the client through detox, treatment, and housing. <br />Drug and Alcohol Assessment: DACCMs will identify problematic use of substances, reduce <br />excessive use of substances, and determine the severity of the substance use disorder, <br />physical health status and any co-occurring mental health conditions that may be affecting <br />the client through the Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) <br />assessment. The SBIRT Assessment is an evidence-based tool that screens for all types of <br />substance use, not just substance dependence, and provides an individualized treatment <br />plan addressing the unique needs of each client. <br />7.Screening: Universal screening using a brief, validated questionnaire to determine the use <br />and severity of alcohol, illicit drug and prescription drug use to inform the level of <br />appropriate intervention. No blood or urine test is administered. <br />2.Brief Intervention: Brief motivational and awareness-raising intervention given to those <br />who substance use is putting their health and well-being at risk. This can take between 5- <br />30 minutes depending on the level of client engagement and is provided onsite following <br />the screening. <br />3.Referral to Treatment: Referral to specialty care for clients with high-risk substance use <br />and/or a possible substance use disorder. The DACCM assists clients with accessing <br />specialized treatment, selecting a treatment facility, and obtaining insurance <br />authorizations when necessary. After a referral is made, follow-up phone calls with the <br />patient or treatment staff are part of the collaboration to ensure care. <br />Clients are also asked about medical insurance and DACCMs verify their enrollment status <br />with the Managed Care Plan Provider. MCP enrollment will qualify clients for future housing <br />services and placement in Drug and Alcohol treatment programs. If clients are not enrolled <br />with an MCP, the Opioid Settlement contract will pay for immediate entry into substance use <br />PO Box: 4508 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 292, Long Beach, CA 90807 I www.citynet.org <br />EIN: 57-1162424 <br />EXHIBIT 1
