Kristen DePrey suggested doing more research on available treatment options. Discussion was held on AODA Assessments and treatment services in our area. Lisa asked if we should look at treatment options in our County or should we look at a geographical area. We should also look at gaps in services. Fred Johnson asked how we identify gaps in services. Kristen DePrey responded that if you are looking for something and can't find it that is how it is identified. Judge Needham asked about skewed assessments vs treatment availability. Fred Johnson suggested asking treatment providers, law enforcement, schools, Judicial, District Attorney about gaps in resources. There is a risk that we identify more than we can handle. Kristen DePrey would like to ask outside agencies and put together a survey. Judge Needham stated that we should include the Department of Corrections, Probation & Parole Office in this process. He also stated it would be helpful to know what is available for treatment for juveniles as well as dual diagnosis treatment options. Discussion was held on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). Kristen DePrey suggested looking into this as a service gap. In our area we are not seeing a lot of opiod abuse, but methamphetamine and alcohol abuse remain consistent. Some facilities are not supportive of MAT and what insurance companies covers should also be reviewed. Lisa and Kristen will put together a survey to include adolescents and dual diagnosis. Fred Johnson suggested looking at MN to quantify how many facilities per 1000 residents in our County vs MN. We need to examine and understand the difference and if it is in part, a political issue.
