This project produced a sustainable, full spectrum substance abuse treatment system capable of meeting virtually all the substance treatment needs of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona.
Indian Nation Served
Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona
Key Components
The program is based on a theoretical model called the treatment and recovery circle. This model places the client at the center surrounded by all the resources of the care system. As treatment progresses, the client moves toward the outer part of the circle, becoming part of the community of care that constitutes the treatment and recovery circle.
Services provided include outreach, diagnosis/intake, intensive outpatient, residential referral, day-treatment, dispensing of methadone, case management including home visits, medical, mental health, aftercare, and follow up services.
Evaluation Design
Evaluators adopted an ?ecocultural? perspective in carrying out both process and outcomes evaluation of the project. Comparison group and other quasi experimental designs for overall program performance at particular points in time are used; case studies, focus groups, and other more qualitative methods are used for probing program performance in order to detect problems in need of rectification. GPRA Core Client outcome data was collected and compiled in accordance with established CSAT standards.
