Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR Model) Risk Principle- Interventions to match assessed level of risk Need Principle- Interventions to target criminogenic factors associated with behaviors Responsivity Principle- Interventions to match offender characteristics *Use validated assessment tools for identifying Risk and Need; Static and Dynamic (e.g. COMPAS, Static 99, RM2000)
COMPAS Assessment Probation assesses for Risk and Need using the COMPAS assessment Probation then links offenders to treatment and intervention services based on their specific Risk and Needs Risk- Violence and Recidivism Need- Criminogenic Needs
Criminogenic Needs Assessment Analysis 75% of realigned offenders supervised by Probation have needs related to substance abuse 64% have needs related to criminal thinking 52% have needs related to residential instability 44% have needs related to vocational/educational *Data from Probation’s Needs Assessment Analysis for High Risk Offenders, San Diego County Probation Department, 2013
Linking Offenders to Services The referral is made through COMPAS and the Provider receives the referral through Probation’s Community Resource Directory.
Community Resource Directory (CRD) The CRD is an electronic catalog of service providers Probation officers make online referrals to community services based on assessed risk and highest criminogenic needs according to evidence based principles GOALS of the CRD Supports probation officer’s role as a case manager Assists in the delivery of services to offenders in pursuit of rehabilitation Allows for measurement of offender participation and progress in treatment
CRD Referral to Treatment/Services
Dual Diagnosis/ Co-occurring Disorders Approximately 8.9 million adults have co-occurring disorders Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and PTSD show higher rates of substance abuse Only 7.4 % receive treatment for both conditions; 55.8 % receive no treatment at all Integrated, simultaneous treatment produces better outcomes for individuals with co- occurring mental and substance use disorders.
Services Integration for Co-occurring Disorders Means providing at a minimum: Integrated screening for substance use and mental health disorders Integrated assessment Integrated treatment planning Integrated or coordinated treatment Continuing care
Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Comprehensive, integrated public health approach to early intervention and treatment Screening: quickly assesses severity of substance use and identifies appropriate level of treatment Brief intervention: focuses on increasing insight and awareness regarding substance use and motivation toward behavioral change. Referral to treatment: provides those identified as needing more extensive treatment with access to specialty care
Screening Simple method of identifying individuals who are drinking/using drugs at at-risk levels as well as those who are already experiencing AOD-related problems Gives specific information and feedback about AOD Provides opportunity to educate the individual about their use and the consequences it has/will generate It offers the individual an opportunity to change their behavior to prevent progression
SBIRT Process
Brief Intervention Providing information and feedback about results Understanding individuals’ views of their use Encouraging the individual to discuss their views on their likes and dislikes about use, and how they may consider changing. Respectfully advising individual to decrease or abstain Teaching behavior change skills Establishing a method for follow-up with the individual.
Referral to Treatment Consists of assisting individuals with: Accessing specialized treatment Selecting treatment facilities Obtaining authorizations from insurance if needed And, in some cases, providing transportation
