| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
This is a standard Agreement issued by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to the California counties for the purpose of providing alcohol and other drug prevention, treatment and recovery support services. DHCS directs statewide prevention and treatment programs that address the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Its core functions include developing and implementing substance use disorder (SUD) prevention strategies; reviewing and approving county SUD treatment program contracts; and granting applications submitted for state and federal funds for SUD services.
The Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) provides funding necessary for the purpose of planning, carrying out, and evaluating SABG authorized activities to prevent and treat substance abuse. The Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has entered into contracts with providers for these services. HHSA ensures that these providers are licensed, registered, certified and/or approved in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as mandated by DHCS.
Approval of this Agreement will require HHSA to continue to comply with the requirements regarding the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment services. New programs or services added or being renewed during the life of this agreement will be subject to Yolo County Procurement policies including requesting new proposals for services when appropriate.
In previous years, the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) funding was combined with the Drug Medi-Cal funding. New this year, DHCS has separated these funding sources into two agreements. The DHCS Drug Medi-Cal agreement will be presented separately to the Board of Supervisors for approval. |
