Services: The Osceola Drug Court Case Management Program coordinates intervention and other needed services through a comprehensive case management system. The program seeks to accomplish the following objectives: (a) make clients aware of the health risks involved with abusing illicit substances, (b) coordinate a plan of action the client can follow that will positively impact the client’s life, (c) link clients to appropriate treatment services, (d) empower clients to become drug free.

Core services offered by the case managers include:
Screening Services,
Recommendation and Referral to Services,
Random Urinalysis,
Treatment Team Planning &
Case Management Services.

To provide effective case management services, the case manager will have a caseload of 50 clients. Once the State Attorney’s Office has deemed a client appropriate for Drug Court, a referral is made to the case management program for a comprehensive screening. The screening is conducted to confirm a client’s need for case management and/or treatment services.

Those clients needing substance abuse and/or mental health treatment are offered assistance based on available treatment capacity, case management availability, and the client’s willingness to enter treatment. The case manager tracks the client’s progress in treatment and may provide thorough aftercare. Case management services will be provided for an average of 18 months, or for the duration of treatment phases. A client file is maintained on each client referred to the Osceola Drug Court Program and contains documentation of all client contacts. The case manager will participate in staffings regarding client progress. The case manager will also receive monthly reports of a client’s progress from the appropriate Drug Court partner(s) and report the client’s progress at the judicial staffing.
