Director Kathy Jett says the data that providers enter into CalOMS and other systems is critical to help ADP tell a compelling story to get state and federal funding. We save between $1 and $4 for every dollar spent diverting users to treatment from jail. Courts, treatment, and law enforcement are now speaking with one voice on this issue and it helps legislators continue to fund these effective programs.
Deputy Director Michael Cunningham mentioned the "inalienable right to services" that clients have.
Dennis McCarty suggests (and challenges) that more drug dealers are using text messaging and the internet to sell drugs than are prevention and treatment providers to prevent and treat AOD users. With treatnent, timing is everything. When clients call, they shouldn't have to wait a month for help. He also provided some statistics that were interesting (see the CD). Successful treatment outcomes decrease with any delay in providing treatment.
These are my notes for my purposes and are not meant to reflect on ADP policies or practices.
