                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FOR CRIMINAL OFFENDERS.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1             PART 1.  PURPOSE AND LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS
 
 2      SECTION 1.  The purpose of this Act is to create a case
 
 3 management system and continuum of substance abuse treatment
 
 4 services for the criminal offender.
 
 5      The legislature finds that a comprehensive approach to
 
 6 treating the substance abusing offender is necessary to reduce
 
 7 recidivism.  This approach must address the concurrent problems
 
 8 of substance abuse and criminal conduct of offenders by bringing
 
 9 together substance abuse treatment and intermediate sanctions.
 
10      The relationship between substance abuse and crime is well
 
11 established.  The Department of Justice reports that of thirty-
 
12 five urban sites included in the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring
 
13 Program, 1,998 arrestees tested positive for drug use at an
 
14 alarming rate, with cocaine use indicated in as many as sixty-
 
15 seven per cent and marijuana use indicated in as many as fifty-
 
16 three per cent.  The use of methamphetamine among national
 
17 arrestee populations has increased substantially since 1990, with
 
18 western states showing the greatest prevalence for
 
19 methamphetamine.

 1      Statistics for Hawaii show that 70 per cent of pre-trial
 
 2 offenders annually placed on supervised release under the
 
 3 auspices of the intake service centers have substance abuse
 
 4 problems.  During fiscal year 1998-1999, 150 (25 per cent) of the
 
 5 600 offenders had their supervised release status revoked; 120
 
 6 (80 per cent) of the 150 were drug related revocations.  Of the
 
 7 approximately 1,050 pre-trial and pre-sentence individuals who
 
 8 are incarcerated, the rate of substance abuse is even higher.
 
 9      Currently, there are about 16,000 offenders on probation in
 
10 Hawaii, including 500 under the supervision of federal probation
 
11 authorities.  An estimated 13,600 (85 per cent) of the
 
12 probationers are in need of substance abuse treatment.  During
 
13 fiscal year 1998-1999, 595 state probationers were incarcerated
 
14 for violating conditions of probation; 150 (25 per cent) violated
 
15 their probation for drug related reasons.
 
16      The department of public safety currently has 4,800
 
17 offenders incarcerated in state and mainland correctional
 
18 facilities.  Of those, 2,600 are sentenced to greater than one
 
19 year.  Substance abuse assessments indicate that 85 per cent
 
20 require substance abuse treatment.
 
21      The Hawaii paroling authority is responsible for supervising
 
22 an active parole population of 1,350.  During fiscal year 1998-
 
23 1999, 433 parolees were incarcerated for violating conditions of

 1 parole; 175 (40 per cent) of the 433 violated their parole for
 
 2 drug related reasons.
 
 3      Another problem encountered in treating the substance
 
 4 abusing offender is that the offender will cross jurisdiction and
 
 5 agency lines while involved with the criminal justice system.
 
 6 For example, an arrestee may be supervised by the intake service
 
 7 centers while on pre-trial release and, upon conviction and
 
 8 sentencing, be required to serve six months at a community
 
 9 correctional center followed by five years probation under the
 
10 supervision of the judiciary.  While on probation, this person
 
11 may become eligible for substance abuse treatment under the
 
12 auspices of the department of health.  Coordination of treatment
 
13 provided to offenders who cross jurisdictional and agency lines
 
14 is lacking, resulting in service gaps and duplication.
 
15      While the need for treating the substance-abusing offender
 
16 is well documented, and the overlapping jurisdictional and agency
 
17 issues are acknowledged, Hawaii has yet to resolve how best to
 
18 address this population.  To effectively meet the needs of this
 
19 population, an integrated case management system is needed
 
20 because treatment services are fragmented and inadequate to meet
 
21 the needs of the substance abusing offender.
 
22      In order to improve services to the substance-abusing
 
23 offender, the legislature has considered approaches used in other

 1 jurisdictions to address treatment and supervision.  In
 
 2 particular, the Arizona Justice Model was reviewed as the most
 
 3 appropriate to consider when designing a case management system
 
 4 and continuum of substance abuse treatment services for Hawaii.
 
 5 The Arizona Justice Model has developed a cooperative
 
 6 relationship between the treatment provider and criminal justice
 
 7 agencies through collaborative planning and information sharing.
 
 8 The most important element in this process is the focus on the
 
 9 "front end" of the system by screening and assessing the
 
10 substance-abusing offender to determine the degree and severity
 
11 of the offender's problem.  Treatment intervention is prescribed
 
12 based upon the offender's need, derived through an assessment
 
13 protocol, and services are offered to the offender with the most
 
14 appropriate provider.
 
15      The defining strength of the Arizona Justice Model is the
 
16 incorporation of a continuum of "best practice" services as
 
17 opposed to the reliance on a single program intervention.  The
 
18 designed continuum of care service delivery system comprises
 
19 substance abuse education programming for the low-risk offender,
 
20 standard and intensive outpatient programming for the medium- to
 
21 low-risk offenders, and day treatment, short-term, and long-term
 
22 residential treatment for the high risk offenders.  A pre-
 
23 treatment motivational enhancement component is prescribed for

 1 offenders who are assessed as not yet ready to benefit from a
 
 2 treatment intervention.  This service delivery continuum is based
 
 3 on the assessment and matching process that is critical in the
 
 4 effort to maximize positive client outcomes and the effective use
 
 5 of funding, time, and resources.
 
 6      Ninety-eight per cent of offenders participating in the
 
 7 Arizona Justice Model received the type of treatment recommended
 
 8 by the assessment criteria.  Of the 932 offenders completing a
 
 9 treatment program in fiscal year 1997-98, sixty-one per cent
 
10 completed the program successfully.  That is, they complied with
 
11 treatment program requirements, were not transferred to another
 
12 placement, and did not abscond, reoffend, or have a petition to
 
13 revoke filed.
 
14      Based on the experience of the Arizona Justice Model, a
 
15 collaborative effort involving the judiciary's adult probation
 
16 division, the department of public safety, the Hawaii paroling
 
17 authority, and the department of health, a proposal has been
 
18 developed to increase the availability and accessibility of
 
19 substance abuse treatment services for offenders who are exiting
 
20 correctional facilities through community based programs or on
 
21 in-community supervised release, probation, or parole.  This
 
22 proposal contains a comprehensive plan for treating the
 
23 substance-abusing offender by bringing together substance abuse

 1 treatment and intermediate sanctions, united through integrated
 
 2 case management.
 
 3      The proposal is based on an intensive and all-inclusive
 
 4 service and case management approach to service delivery.  This
 
 5 approach provides continuity of treatment regardless of which
 
 6 criminal justice agency is responsible for the offender at any
 
 7 point in time.  It also minimizes costs associated with treatment
 
 8 by eliminating duplication of services.
 
 9      In order to implement the proposal, funding sources must be
 
10 identified.  The Arizona Justice Model determined that the most
 
11 appropriate manner to fund the program was through the use of
 
12 liquor tax revenues.  Alcohol is America's most widely used drug
 
13 and contributes to a vast array of medical and social problems.
 
14 Approximately half of all violent offenses committed in the
 
15 United States are alcohol related.  The discrepancy between the
 
16 social cost of an average drink and the tax on that drink is
 
17 billed to all taxpayers.  Non-drinkers are charged for the costs
 
18 incurred by those who choose to drink.  Drinkers should help to
 
19 pay for the costs of alcohol related problems.  Revenues
 
20 generated on the wholesale value of alcohol should be applied
 
21 toward addressing substance abuse treatment services.
 
22      Tobacco has been described as the most addictive substance
 
23 currently known to man.  Tobacco use exacts a toll on the public

 1 in a number of ways, such as increased medical costs to fund
 
 2 services for tobacco users and the enforcement of no smoking
 
 3 regulations.  By increasing the tobacco tax, tobacco consumers
 
 4 will be offsetting some of the social cost associated with
 
 5 smoking by contributing to treatment of substance abusers who
 
 6 commit crimes against the community.

19               PART III.  INTEGRATED CASE MANAGEMENT
 
20      SECTION 9.  An integrated case management system defines a
 
21 single point of accountability which is responsible for
 
22 continuity of communication, care, and follow-up for substance-
 
23 abusing offenders, regardless of which services they may receive
 
24 at any given time, or which criminal justice agency is

 1 supervising the offender.  Case management replaces a haphazard
 
 2 process of referrals with a single, well-structured service.  In
 
 3 doing so, it offers the offender continuity.  As a single point
 
 4 of contact, case managers have obligations not only to their
 
 5 clients, but also to the members of the systems with whom they
 
 6 interact.  Case managers must familiarize themselves with
 
 7 protocols and operating procedures observed by these other
 
 8 professionals.  The case manager must mobilize needed resources,
 
 9 which requires the ability to negotiate formal systems, to barter
 
10 informally among service providers, and to consistently pursue
 
11 informal networks.  Case managers must not only have many of the
 
12 same abilities as other professionals who work with substance
 
13 abusers (such as counselors), they must also possess special
 
14 abilities relating to such areas as interagency functioning,
 
15 negotiating, and advocacy.
 
16      Case management for substance-abusing offenders includes two
 
17 basic dimensions:  referral and service coordination.  Referral
 
18 activities include a number of steps in securing the appropriate
 
19 services for the client.  Networking with the array of agency,
 
20 professional, and community groups that impact the treatment
 
21 continuum ensures appropriate referrals, identification of
 
22 service gaps, and assistance in meeting the unmet needs of the
 
23 client.  Knowing where and when to refer to a specific service is

 1 vital to successful case management.  Also, the sharing of
 
 2 information between the criminal justice agency responsible for
 
 3 the supervision of the client, the treatment provider, and the
 
 4 case manager provides for the continuity of care and enhanced
 
 5 community safety by ensuring substance abuse treatment needs are
 
 6 being met and program participation is adhered to.  Lastly, the
 
 7 case management system requires evaluation of the outcome of
 
 8 treatment referrals to monitor appropriateness of treatment being
 
 9 provided by the service agency.
 
10      Service coordination consists of two equally important
 
11 aspects:  development and implementation of a treatment plan, and
 
12 consulting with other professionals and agencies involved with
 
13 the individual client.  The development of a treatment plan
 
14 requires obtaining, reviewing, and interpreting all relevant
 
15 screening, assessment, and initial treatment planning
 
16 information.  Implementation of the treatment plan includes
 
17 initiating collaboration with the referral source and completing
 
18 the administrative procedures for admission to treatment.  The
 
19 case manager is responsible for coordinating all treatment
 
20 activities with services provided to the client by other
 
21 resources.  The consulting role of the case manager involves
 
22 participation with a multidisciplinary treatment team that
 
23 assists in providing coordination of services and identification

 5      SECTION 10.  There is appropriated out of the substance
 
 6 abuse prevention and treatment special fund the sum of $_______,
 
 7 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2000-2001,
 
 8 to provide for the hiring of staff and the purchase of necessary
 
 9 services and equipment to carry out integrated case management
 
10 for the substance-abusing criminal offender.  The sum
 
11 appropriated shall be expended by the department of health.
 
12           PART IV.  SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT CONTINUUM
 
13      SECTION 11.  Case management focuses on assisting the
 
14 substance-abusing offender in acquiring needed resources.  The
 
15 substance abuse continuum of care focuses on activities that help
 
16 substance-abusing offenders recognize the extent of their
 
17 substance abuse problem, acquire the motivation and tools to stay
 
18 sober, and use those tools.  The continuum of treatment services
 
19 should include the following elements:
 
20      (1)  Residential programs provide a planned regiment of
 
21           professionally directed evaluation, treatment, case
 
22           management, and other ancillary and special services

 1           twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
 
 2      (2)  Day treatment programs provide the client with the
 
 3           opportunity to participate in a structured therapeutic
 
 4           program while still being able to remain in the
 
 5           community. The level of care consists of a minimum of
 
 6           twenty hours per week of face-to-face treatment,
 
 7           including a minimum of one hour per week of individual
 
 8           counseling.
 
 9      (3)  Intensive outpatient programs provide non-residential
 
10           intensive specialized services on a scheduled basis for
 
11           a minimum of nine hours, and a maximum of nineteen
 
12           hours, per client per week of face-to-face treatment.
 
13           At least one hour per week must include individual
 
14           counseling.
 
15      (4)  Outpatient programs provide non-residential
 
16           comprehensive specialized services on a scheduled
 
17           basis, including professionally directed evaluation,
 
18           treatment, case management, and recovery services for
 
19           clients with less problematic substance abuse related
 
20           behavior than would be found in a residential or day
 
21           treatment program. Outpatient clients receive between
 
22           one and eight hours per client per week of face-to-face
 
23           treatment with a minimum of one hour of individual
