INTENT
EJDC is soliciting proposals for the Outpatient Treatment for the Adult Drug Court’s Transitional Age Program (TAP) and
the Opportunity for Probation with Enforcement in Nevada Program (OPEN). EJDC’S intention is to award one PROVIDER

PROPOSER is required to identify the maximum number of participants it can serve.
SCOPE OF WORK
A.
Background
The Adult Drug Court Transitional Age Program (TAP) of the EJDC targets offenders who have serious addictions to drugs
and/or alcohol. The purpose of this program is to provide professional substance misuse and mental health services to
these offenders as a positive alternative to incarceration. The goal is to afford these offenders the opportunity to break their
cycle of substance use and criminality recidivism through rehabilitation. An essential component of this program is engaging
specialized service providers that are capable of working with this population, to help them address both the physiological
and psychological root of their substance misuse and work towards sustaining drug-free lives. The Opportunity for Probation
with Enforcement in Nevada program (The OPEN program) provides intensive behavioral modification programing to
participants in the hope to decrease their criminal behaviors through evidence based treatment addressing participant’s
individual needs. The OPEN Program attempts to reintegrate participants into the community, assessing their individual
needs and connecting them with the appropriate community based treatment, academic and vocational resources, while
working to address their court requirements simultaneously. The program offers substance misuse treatment, random
drug/alcohol testing, and court supervision of program compliance.

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.
