Board accepts $600,000 CalAIM Justice‑Involved funds for medication‑assisted treatment and reentry supports
Summary
Health and Human Services asked the board to accept $600,000 in CalAIM Justice‑Involved capacity funds to support medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) and reentry services; presenter said the county’s reentry program has served about 1,879 clients with a recidivism rate near 25%.
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors voted to accept $600,000 in CalAIM Justice‑Involved capacity building funds to implement medication‑assisted treatment and bolster the county’s reentry services. Sarah Eberhart Rios, director of Health and Human Services, presented program data and described the CalAIM Justice‑Involved model as a coordinated, multi‑partner reentry approach that embeds services in the jail and follows clients into the community.
"We have served in our time of operating this program right around 1,879 clients," Eberhart Rios said, and she reported an active caseload of 195 clients and a program recidivism rate of "just around 25 percent," which staff said compares favorably with typical recidivism rates for similar populations. The board approved acceptance of the funds and ratified the sheriff’s execution of terms subject to county counsel review.
