3.
SCOPE OF WORK
A.
Background
The Eighth Judicial District’s Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) program is designed to confront and treat the substance
abuse and mental health concerns, which contribute to the criminal behavior of the VTC participants. The VTC provides
evidence-based treatment to participants in conjunction with judicial oversight and community supervision intended to
reduce recidivism and increase individual accountability and, ultimately, to improve public safety for the citizens of Clark
County while supporting those who have served.
B.

Court recommended by the National Drug Court Institute and subject to compliance with this Contract.
EJDC Coordinator will approve all curriculums and any training paid for by the EJDC and attended by
the PROVIDER will be incorporated and implemented within 90 days of attendance. If the Provider is
unable to implement the training, PROVIDER must communicate why they are unable to implement and
have a comparable training to recommend to EJDC and EJDC Coordinator.
4.
Evidence Based Practices
EJDC requires contractors to use evidence-based treatment approaches. Evidence based practices
includes treatment strategies and interventions for which observable, objective data exist demonstrating
positive effects. Using evidence-based treatment means using interventions that have been shown to
work. EJDC contracted providers are expected to utilize data about an individual’s progress along with
the best available information about “what works” in planning and revising treatment. The data (or
evidence-bases) showing the positive effects of mental health and/or substance abuse treatment
practices can take one of four major forms, listed below in order of their relative strength. Information
about the evidence base for various practices should be utilized throughout the course of treatment to
make clinical decisions. Higher priority should be given to more reliable or stronger forms of evidence in
making treatment decisions. Clinically-driven and outcomes-driven treatment is individualized, person-
centered and responsive to specific participant’s needs and progress toward recovery. This is a departure
from focusing on “placement” in a program, often with a fixed length of stay, and a move toward more
individually determined care. Furthermore, it is a move toward the client’s response to treatment, lengths
of stay that are individualized and based on the severity of a client’s illness, level of functioning at
treatment entry, and response to treatment, progress and outcomes. PROVIDER shall identify new
evidence based best practices and curriculums throughout the life of the contract.
5.
