Jefferson County Adult Treatment Train (JCATT)

Judges Prosecutors Community Corrections Probation School systems Mental Health/Substance Abuse agencies Local Law Enforcement Employment Services Community Support

Development of a Team

Think of all agencies involved in the habilitation of clients as different cars on a train

Community Corrections was selected as the “overseer” of the train

Other train cars willing to participate: schools; jail; transitional housing; in-patient treatment; LifeSpring; Centerstone; River Valley Resources

Theory of the Train

Each car delivers a variety of services to clients

Clients move through the train based upon risk/need under the supervision of CC

Movement through the train does not necessarily have to be linier

The train works together to best deliver the best wrap around services to the client from start to “finish”

Theory of Train

Having a unique collaboration of community supervision, resources and service providers – lines of decision making authority need to be established for the train to run smoothly

The train should have a clear understanding of each car’s services to clients

Each car established should have clear understanding of chain of command; reporting instructions; and expectations of the treatment train as a whole

Decision Making Authority

The supervising agency should give each train car clear reporting requirements for funding request.

Examples: ◦ A monthly reporting form◦ Time sheets of those being paid out of funds◦ Inventory◦ Client reimbursement information◦ Other client assistance funds

Reporting Requirements

How do people get on the train? Each train car should have specific

guidelines as to how they are referred to the train and who is the entry person for each train car.

Examples:◦ Juvenile Referrals◦ Jail Program referrals◦ Pre-conviction referrals◦ Post-conviction referrals

Methods of Referral
