Background:
PR00005182 with RS Eden; and PR00005217 with Park Avenue Center
These two contracts help fulfill an unmet need for Department of Community Corrections (DOCCR) clients who need treatment for a substance use disorder. The client population being served includes adult men and women who have previously been ineligible for chemical dependency treatment due to their criminal history for certain predatory offenses, and 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, providing exceptional care to DOCCR clients.
PR00005862 with MFAM Capital, LLC
This provider delivers culturally tailored program services using the Habilitation Empowerment Accountability Therapy (H.E.A.T.) curriculum, a trauma-informed group therapy program for African American men, designed to interrupt the cycle of problematic substance use and negative thinking. Clients are primarily deemed high and medium risk DOCCR probation clients. Participants meet twice a week and cover 36 program modules. The primary components of the HEAT program are highlighting and valuing black culture; emphasizing the historical strengths of African Americans; and treating the whole person - the spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, environmental and experiential components of self, behaviors and choices.
