BACKGROUND
Background
On March 27, 2026, during the Board of County Commissioners Retreat, the Board approved an Opioid Settlement Spending Resolution to support the implementation of the Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (SAIOP), which represents Phase 2 of the Family-Focused Recovery (FFR) Program. This program will serve pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorders through structured outpatient treatment and wraparound support services.
The SAIOP program is designed to open and begin operations while the Gibson Park facility is under construction and continue operating once the residential facility is open. This will provide an important early component of the broader continuum of care under the FFR model. As outlined in the program materials, the SAIOP phase includes group-based treatment and support services, with the goal of improving recovery outcomes and family stability.
The Board-approved resolution authorizes the use of Opioid Settlement funds under Exhibit A, Strategy 3: Recovery Support Services, in the amount of $186,432, effective April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This agenda item formally appropriates the approved funding within the Opioid Settlement Fund to support program implementation.
