Background:
PR00005182 with RS Eden; and PR00005217 with Park Avenue Center
These two contracts help fulfill an unmet need for Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) clients who need treatment for substance use disorder. The client population served includes adult men and women who have previously been ineligible for chemical dependency treatment due to their criminal history for certain predatory offenses, typically level 3 designations. Both agencies provide outpatient treatment with an option for housing when needed. Each provider has acquired special training to provide services to this specific client population.
PR00002598 with Yoshiko Hapke, MD
Dr. Yoshiko Hapke provides medical psychiatry services/medication management for eligible persons under Hennepin County 4th Judicial District jurisdiction with a primary focus on Criminal Mental Health Court. The treatment court program reduces barriers to mental health care for justice-involved individuals. Participants with severe mental health conditions may require a continuum of care ranging from psychiatric evaluation, medication assistance, crisis assessment, care coordination, psychiatric hospitalization and/or civil commitment. The goal is to promote long-range community-based medical supports and participant stabilization. Dr. Hapke has provided this important service for more than 15 years, for DOCCR clients.
PR00004740 with Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center
Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center provides advocacy services to sexual assault victims, a harm reduction program for American Indian women with co-occurring substance abuse/mental health/sexual trauma history and are incarcerated at the Adult Corrections Facility (ACF). Biweekly support groups are held at the ACF.
