E. Federal Requirement: Pro-Children Act
1. Assurance is hereby given to the Department that the Contractor will
comply with Public Law 103-227, also known as the Pro-Children Act of
1994, 20 USC 6081 et seq, which requires that smoking not be permitted in
any portion of any indoor facility owned or leased or contracted by and used
routinely or regularly for the provision of health, day care, early childhood
development services, education or library services to children under the
age of 18, if the services are funded by federal programs either directly or
through state or local governments, by federal grant, contract, loan or loan
guarantee. The law also applies to children's services that are provided in
indoor facilities that are constructed, operated, or maintained with such
federal funds. The law does not apply to children's services provided in
private residences; portions of facilities used for inpatient drug or alcohol
treatment; service providers whose sole source of applicable federal funds
is Medicare or Medicaid; or facilities where Women. Infants, and Children
(WIC) coupons are redeemed. Failure to comply with the provisions of the
law may result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty of up to $1,000
for each violation and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance
order on the responsible entity. The Contractor also assures that this
language will be included in any subawards which contain provisions for
children's services.
2. The Contractor also assures, in addition to compliance with Public Law 103-
227, any service or activity funded in whale or in part through this
agreement will be delivered in a smoke-free facility or environment.
Smoking shall not be permitted anywhere in the facility, or those parts of the
facility under the control of the Contractor. If activities or services are
delivered in facilities or areas that are not under the control of the
Contractor (e.g., a mall, restaurant or private work site), the activities or
services shall be smoke-free.
F. Hatch Political Activity Act and Interdovernmental Personnel Act
The Contractor will comply with the Hatch Political Activity Act, 5 USC 1501-1508,
and the Intergovernmental Personnel Act of 1970, as amended by Title VI of the
Civil Service Reform Act, Public Law 95-454, 42 USC 4728. Federal funds cannot
be used for partisan political purposes of any kind by any person or organization
involved in the administration of federally-assisted programs.
G. Subcontracts
Assure for any subcontracted service, activity or product:
1. That a written subcontract is executed by all affected parties prior to the
initiation of any new subcontract activity. Exceptions to this policy may be
granted by the Department upon written request within 30 days of execution
of the agreement.
2. That any executed subcontract to this agreement shall require the
subcontractor to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this
agreement. In the event of a conflict between this agreement and the
provisions of the subcontract, the provisions of this agreement shall prevail.
A conflict between this agreement and a subcontract, however, shall not be
deemed to exist where the subcontract:
a. Contains additional non-conflicting provisions not set forth in this
agreement;
b. Restates provisions of this agreement to afford the Contractor the
same or substantially the same rights and privileges as the
Department; or
c. Requires the subcontractor to perform duties and/or services in less
time than that afforded the Contractor in this agreement.
3. That the subcontract does not affect the Contractor's accountability to the
Department for the subcontracted activity.

portions of the associated "Common Rule" as promulgated by responsible federal
contractor(s), or OMB Circular A-110, as applicable, and that records sufficient to
document the significant history of all purchases are maintained for a minimum of
three years after the end of the agreement period.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
To the extent that this act is pertinent to the services that the Contractor provides
to the Department under this agreement, the Contractor assures that it is in
compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
requirements including the following:
1. The Contractor must not share any protected health data and information
provided by the Department that falls within HIPAA requirements except to

health data and information from the Department that falls under HIPAA
requirements in the terms and conditions of the subcontract.
3. The Contractor must only use the protected health data and information for
the purposes of this agreement.
4. The Contractor must have written policies and procedures addressing the
use of protected health data and information that falls under the HIPAA
requirements. The policies and procedures must meet all applicable federal
and state requirements including the HIPAA regulations, These policies
and procedures must include restricting access to the protected health data
and information by the Contractor's employees.
5. The Contractor must have a policy and procedure to report to the

Termination.
In accordance with HIPAA requirements, the Contractor is liable for any
claim, loss or damage relating to unauthorized use or disclosure of
protected health data and information received by the Contractor from the
Department or any other source.
J. Supplanting
The Contractor will comply with Federal requirements concerning supplanting.
Funds must be used to supplement existing funds for program activities and no
replace those funds which have been appropriated for the same purpose; Potential
supplanting will be the subject of application review, as well as pre-award review,
post-award monitoring and audit.
Supplanting means to deliberately reduce state or local funds because of
existence of federal funds (e.g., when state funds are appropriated for a stated
purpose and federal funds are awarded for that same purpose, the state replaces
its state funds with federal funds, thereby reducing the total amount available for
the stated purpose).
IV, Financial Requirements

PURPOSE
72065-4-06-B
The 52-1 Sobriety Court targets repeat and high-risk drunk driving offenders. The goal
of sobriety court is to reduce alcohol-related offenses by high-risk repeat offenders and
to reduce alcohol and drug use generally.
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
72085-4-06-B
Defendants are eligible for Sobriety Court if they have a prior alcohol related driving
conviction, if they are a high risk first offender and live in the jurisdiction of the
court. Eligibility is also possible at the time of a probation violation hearing when a
defendant has recidivated with drinking and driving offense. Additionally, a small number
of placements are available for youths (age 17 through 20) who have been ticketed for
Minor in Possession a minimum of two times and who appear at high risk to commit a
drinking and driving offense. The final decision on a defendant's eligibility for
Sobriety Court is made at the time of sentencing when the judge reviews the presentence
investigation or alcohol assessment. All sentencing reports submitted by the court's
investigative unit and probation officers indicate candidacy for Sobriety court. The
Needs assessment is given to all drunk driving offenders and provides ASAM criteria for
supervision and treatment placement. The criteria which deny eligibility are similar to
other drug courts and include: no felony drug delivery charges, no crimes of aggravated
assault and no offenses involving possession or use of a firearm. Offenders with a
history of mental illness will be denied entry if there is a history of refusal to comply
with treatment directives. Since eligibility and screening are based on established
written criteria, eligible participants are promptly advised about program requirements
and potential clients are screened for alcohol and other drugs and suitability for
treatment, Key Component 43 is met.
Sobriety Court alters the time line of traditional supervision in the District Court.
When sentenced, the typical drunk driver is sentenced to probation. Typically, the first
probation appointment is six to eight weeks following sentencing. Given the high
recidivism rate of this population, it would often take almost three months before the
defendant made contact with a substance abuse counselor. Also, given the high caseload
of probation officers in the court, the individual officer is unable to provide the
scrutiny and supervision required by the addicted individual. Sobriety Court allowed for
intensive supervision in an expedited time frame. Given the rhaloso ,eristios of this
group, the timely referral to treatment, monitored treatment, regular AA attendance and
alcohol/drug testing are considered the key components to reducing the recidivism rate.
Sobriety Court is a post-plea specialized court. It is a phase structured program of
eighteen months duration and is run on a point system. The eighteen month term is based
on the recognition that the longer the defendant is monitored and attending support
groups, the more likely a quality recovery program will be maintained. Upon entry into
Sobriety Court, the defendant is assigned an intensive probation officer and is placed on
the intensive track. If the defendant does not progress in treatment or comply with
sanctions, the intensive phase may be extended up to 12 months. Failure to graduate from
the Intensive Phase within 12 months will result in revocation of sobriety court status
and immediate sentencing. Each defendant who enters the 72-week program does so
voluntarily. Because these individuals give up certain constitutional and privacy
rights, the agreement to enter Sobriety Court is based on a signed contract and a knowing
waiver on the record. The following are the phases of Sobriety Court:
Phase I Intensive Phase 9 months to 12 months
Phase IT Step-Down 18 weeks to 12 months
Phase III Aftercare 9 months to 24 months
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
During the Intensive Phase, participants have to:
Report to Intensive Probation Officer weekly
Attend judicial review hearings monthly
Alcohol test daily for first 60 days (morning test only); After 60 days testing is
reduced:
5 times weekly and after SO days to 4 times weekly
Drug testing a minimum of one time weekly
Attend substance abuse counseling a minimum of one time weekly
Attend AA a minimum of three times weekly
Curfew imposed for 10 p.m. for first 60 days and is increased after at discretion of the
team
After earning 112 points and good performance, participants move to Step-Down where:
Maintain counseling a minimum of one time weekly
Submit to drug testing two times monthly
Alcohol test three times weekly
Attend AA three times weekly
Provide proof of AA sponsor
Curfew is removed
Participants graduate when:
Earn 180 points
Have 90 consecutive sober/clean days
Successful completion of each treatment phase
Attended 72 AA/NA meetings
Obtained an AA sponsor
Have no criminal offenses
Now beginning our fourth year of Sobriety Court, we found we had to highlight specific
information since, once admitted into the program, defendants stated the rigidity of the
structure and requirements were not clarified. Consequently, we added the following
section entitled: What do you need to know before you decide to enter Sobriety Court?
Alcohol and Drug testing: Participant must submit to alcohol testing daily for a minimum
of 60 consecutive days. All testing occurs between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.
A late or positive test will result in a sanction of jail.
AA Attendance; Upon entry into the program, you will attend AA meetings daily for at
least 30 days. At that time, the daily requirement may be reduced or extended. While in
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
Sobriety Court, the minimum AA requirement will remain three times per week. The sanction
for missing an AA meeting is daily AA attendance for a minimum of 30 days. However the
requirement of daily AA attendance may be extended for longer periods of time. Since
Sobriety Court is a total honesty program, the sanction for falsifying an AA sheet
generally results in immediate dismissal from Sobriety Court.
Counseling: Participant will enter counseling in the first week following entry into the
program. Failure to enter counseling as directed results in a sanction which is
determined by the Sobriety Court team. Weekly counseling sessions are required while you
are in the intensive phase. A missed counseling session results in a sanction which is
decided by the Sobriety Court team. The Sobriety Court team my alter the treatment plan
based on how you progress in treatment.
Curfew: Upon your entry into Sobriety Court, a 10:00 p.m. curfew is imposed.
Probation Appointments: Participant will report once a week to see your probation
officer. You must report at the time and date directed by your probation officer.
Failure to appear for a probation appointment will result in the judge issuing a bench
warrant for your arrest. It is very important that you report on time. Reporting late
for a probation appointment will result in a sanction.
Review Hearings: Participant will appear before the judge one time a month. Attendance
at the review hearing is mandatory. Failure to appear for a review hearing will result
in a sanction.
Home visits: The Sobriety Court police officer wil make random visits to your home. You
have given the officer the right to search your home. The home visit may be conducted
without your presence as the officer must be granted entry by anyone present in the home.
As you participate in Sobriety Court, you will be consistently reminded that the program
is an absolute responsibility program. The structure is rigid and designed to assist you
in becoming more responsible for your behavior. You are expected to meet all the
requirements of Sobriety Court.
Following graduation, participants move to Phase III, the Aftercare Phase, Aftercare is
a minimum of nine months duration but can be extended to twenty four due to relapse
issues. During the Aftercare phase, participants must:
Report two times monthly to the Sobriety Court Probation Officer
Attend AA three times weekly
Submit to random alcohol/drug testing
Relapse Prevention Plan
If relapse occurs in the Aftercare Phase, participants must follow the relapse prevention
plan, which continues for sixteen weeks. When relapse occurs, the participant works with
his counselor, probation officer and sponsor to define the behaviors, attitudes,
thoughts, feelings and situations that became the obstacle to recovery. If relapse occurs
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
late in the aftercare phase, the defendant's probation may be extended up to twenty four
months. While in relapse prevention, participants return to more intensive supervision
and:
Report weekly to the Probation Officer
Attend judicial review hearings one time per month
Complete an intensive alcohol/drug counseling program
Maintain weekly outpatient counseling sessions following intensive treatment
Attend 90 AA meetings in 90 days
Submit to alcohol/drug testing as directed by the Probation Officer
Farm a minimum of 96 points to return to Aftercare Phase
The point system is the following:
Categories to Gain Points Required Number of Points
Appointments with Probation Officer (1 point) 26 minimum; 36 maximum
AA meetings (1 point) 72 minimum; 108 maximum
Substance abuse counseling session (1 point) 34 minimum; 68 maximum

STATEMENT OF WORK
The following are the Point requirements for the Relapse Prevention Plan:
Categories to Gain Points Required Number of Points
Meetings with probation officer (1 point) 16
AA meetings (1 point) 48
Intensive counseling (1 point per session) 12
Outpatient counseling (1 point per session) 12
Alcohol/drug testing (1 point per test) 8 minimum
When Sobriety Court was implemented on March 5, 2001, there was no point system. Having
participated in the federal training offered by the Drug Court Program Office, the team
was particularly impressed by the use of the point system in the drug court in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. In mid-2001, the Sobriety Court team created the point system.
We have found that participants respond positively to the point system since they are
able to quantify their progress. Further, the point system became an equalizer in the
program. Consequently, there have been no allegations of unfairness or partiality by the
team or the judge. Each participant is aware of how many points must be earned, ways to
increase points and each participant knows that others have lost points but were able to
graduate and recover from addiction.
The judicial review focuses on the progress of the defendant in treatment, the problems
associated with the achievement of quality sobriety and addresses the difficulty faced by
the offender at home, at work and in the community. Over the past two years, each of the
three Sobriety Court judges have developed a style of dealing with defendants in the more
informal drug court proceeding. Judicial Status hearings begin 30 days following
sentencing. At the first judicial hearing, the defendant is welcomed into the program.
After that, participants appear monthly, their progress is reviewed and appropriate
sanctions or incentives are imposed. All individuals within the program are held to a
standard of absolute responsibility. At the team meetings, the intensive probation
officer informs the team of the defendant's progress and/or infractions that have
occurred since the last court appearance and makes recommendations for rewards, reduction
of certain conditions or sanctions. It is the policy of Sobriety Court that all arguments
are resolved and there is full agreement on the action to be taken before the team
appears in court. At the time of the judicial review, defendants who achieve program
goals and exhibit drug free behavior are rewarded and encouraged by the court through a
series of rewards. The incentives include the following: encouragement and praise, curfew
extensions, permission to travel out of state and tickets for sporting events and
concerts (based on availability). When there is a rule infraction, the defendant will
appear before the Court on the day following the infraction. Should a defendant fail to
appear for a judicial status hearing, the judge issues a bench warrant with a request for
immediate pick up. Since Sobriety Court has regularly scheduled review dates to monitor
participant compliance and the court applies appropriate incentives and sanctions to
match treatment progress, Sobriety Court meets Key Component #7.
Failure to follow treatment and/or supervisory requirements result in the imposition of
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
sanctions. Common sanctions used by the court are increased testing or jail time. For
example, participants may be required to increase their breath tests from one test per
day to twice daily testing. Failure to be honest with the intensive officer results in a
three-day jail sentence. Honesty and accountability are considered the backbone of
Sobriety Court. If a defendant is honest with the probation officer, there is often a
reduction in the number of jail days to be served as a sanction. The reduction of
sanctions, for owning up to a violation, demonstrates the philosophy of participants
taking responsibility for their actions. Relapse, missed counseling sessions, late to
test, missed AA and falsified AA result in one or more of the following sanctions:
judicial warning, increased drug testing, increased AA attendance, community service,
tether, order to live in a X House and incarceration. Consideration of all sanctions
including the removal of the defendant from Sobriety Court occurs at the team meeting,
which takes place in the judge's chambers prior to every judicial review hearing. Since
there is a coordinated response to good progress as well as non-compliance, a graduated
sanction schedule and regular communication regarding sanctions at team meetings,
Sobriety Court meets Key Component 46.
Graduation occurs when the participant has successfully completed all the requirements of
the intensive phase, served nine months in the program and has earned 180 points. An
informal ceremony occurs at the final judicial review hearing, when the defendant is
given a certificate of graduation signed by the judges, a handshake and a court coffee
mug. Formal graduation ceremonies occur twice annually. Each graduate is given the
opportunity to speak at the graduation and each is asked to write a graduation letter.
The graduates talk about their experience in the program and how they have changed as a
result of it. The graduation letter is meant to provide feedback on the program and its
operation. At the formal graduation, each participant is given a motivational plaque that
addresses the unique personality trait that the intensive officers felt most served them
while in the program. Attendance at the Sobriety Court graduation is mandatory for all
participants and failure to attend results in a sanction of jail. The 32/1 District Court
has conducted six formal graduation ceremonies on December 12, 2001, June 6, 2002,
December 3, 2002, and January 13, 2004, July 13, 2004 and January 11, 2005. Following the
informal graduation, the participants are formally sentenced. In addition requirement of
180 points, the following criteria are necessary for graduation:
Have a minimum of 90 continuous sober/clean days
Successful completion of treatment
Attend 72 AA/NA meetings
Have an AA sponsor
No criminal offenses
The Aftercare Phase follows graduation from the intensive phase and consists of the
second nine months of the program. It was planned to be less rigorous but still allowed
the court to monitor the defendant. As participants graduated and moved into Aftercare,
the team had to deal with the problems of recovery. In the last quarter of 2002, a
pattern of relapse was observed. In a team meeting which included representatives of AA,
it was suggested that relapse occurs when an individual gets too comfortable with
recovery and due to this relaxation, stops attending meetings or lessens contact with a
sponsor. Based on this, we have learned that the relaxation in supervision following the
intensive phase had to be gradiently adjusted. As relapse became an issue, changes in
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
case management of this phase were made. Following relapse, defendants appear before
the judge and judicial review hearings are re-instated. Participants must follow the
relapse protocol and earn 96 points before they can return to the Aftercare Phase.
Testing in the Aftercare Phase became an issue of some controversey. Participants
vocalized their dissatisfaction with random JAMS testing 6 times monthly. They
verbalized their perception that they were moving backward rather than forward in the
restrictions placed on them. In the team meeting, the decision was made to impose
graduated testing. The following protocol was put in place in February 2004; testing 6
times per month for the first three months, testing 4 times per month for the second
three months and testing two times per month for the final three months of the program.
Since the program began, fourteen participants have failed in aftercare due to an
unwillingness to make a commitment to a disciplined recovery program.
Again, in this past year of Sobriety Court operation, we realized there were problems
associated with our drug testing protocol, both in the intensive and aftercare phase.
Other drug use and drug detection is an issue the Sobriety Court team constantly reviews.
Initially, participants would call for their color at JAMS to learn whether they should
test. The probation officers sensed that prior knowledge of when they would test allowed
participants to plan when they might drink. The probation officer staff created a new
color coded testing calendar and utilized a phone with voicemail messaging provided by
the court. Participants now phone the court after 5 a.m. each morning to learn if they
must test that day. This testing protocol helps minimize the possibility of planned and
monitored alcohol use the previous night.
Finally, as our participants have graduated and become active in helping others with
recovery, we have asked them to become mentors for those participants who are new in the
program. In response to this, we have created a Graduate Mentor Group, which is
collaborating with sponsors in AA. First Step, An Introduction to 12 Step Programs, is
a program run by this group. It is held bi-weekly as a forum for Sobriety Court graduates
who are committed to AA, community AA sponsors and current participants who want to learn
or reach out to others through AA. Many of the mentor graduates attend judicial review
hearings on their own initiative. They have been instrumental in their support for the
program and the participants. It should be noted that AA activists have questioned the
propriety of having AA sponsors lose their anonymity when appearing in open court. The
team responded that a sponsor makes a personal choice to appear in court; that the
appearance of a sponsor is not required as part of the Sobriety Court protocol.
Revocation occurs when the defendant continues to relapse while in treatment coupled with
a failure to cooperate with Sobriety Court or treatment directives. Sobriety Court is
based on honesty and personal responsibility. The defendant has to demonstrate an
unwillingness to remain in treatment, continue to use alcohol or other drugs and maintain
a pattern of failure to report to probation, treatment or judicial hearings. The
decision for revocation is made at the judicial review hearing through a vote by the
team. At the time of the final vote, the decision is based on the lack of honesty and
the unwillingness to be accountable following multiple relapses.
Regular alcohol/drug testing is a strong component in the program. During the first 60
days following entry into Sobriety Court, participants are tested daily for alcohol use
at JAMS (Jail Alternatives for Michigan Services). They are also drug tested weekly at
the time they report to the probation officer. The testing cup provides the result while
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
the defendant is in the office. After 60 days, the testing requirement may be decreased
to five times weekly and after 90 days to four times weekly. In the Step-Down Phase,
participants must alcohol test three times weekly and drug test two times a month.
Defendants who have retained their driving privileges are required to have Ignition
Interlock installed. Those defendants are breath tested each time they start their car
and at intervals when they are driving. Many defendants have been breath tested over
3,000 times. Finally, at the time of police home visits, the defendant may be tested. The
judge is immediately notified of a failed drug test, an altered test or failure to test.
A failed test, altered test or no test is considered a positive test and is sanctioned
with a jail sentence of one to three jail days; the length of incarceration is determined
at the team staffing. It should be noted that breath tests and urine screens conducted
at the Probation Department are free of charge to participants as long as they test
negative. In the Aftercare Phase, the defendant continues to he alcohol/drug tested
following a protocol of a gradient reduction in testing. In this protocol, testing is
reduced from 6 random tests per month to 4 tests per month after three months. During the
final three months of the Aftercare Phase, testing is reduced to 2 times per month. Since
the testing is based on established guidelines and since there is a prompt response to
non-compliance, Sobriety Court meets Key Component 45.
In the past year of Sobriety Court operation, Sobriety Court made a change in testing
cups. American Bio Medica Corporation produces a 12 panel cup which tests for
amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepine, cocaine, ecstasy, methadone, methamphetamine,
opiates, oxycodone, phencyclidine, propoxyphene, and thc/cannabinoids. Although the test
is more costly, we have been able to catch those participants who move to other
substances, those not commonly tested for, to avoid detection. This improved ability to
detect drug use has been significant in elevating the confidence of the sobriety court
probation officers and their ability to speak more authoritatively about the drug use
patterns of participants.
A full range of treatment services is provided to the Sobriety Court participant. In
addition to PACE, the Central Diagnostic and Referral (CDR) service for Oakland County
residents, the court works with a multitude of private substance abuse agencies. When
Sobriety Court began in March 2001, many of our treatment providers were invited to
participate. On Feb. 16, 2001, a select group of treatment providers were invited to the
court for the purpose of introducing them to the principles of drug court. The treatment
providers agreed to cooperate with the drug court protocol and use standardized progress
reports and agreed to the full disclosure of information. Some treatment providers were
unable to comply with the required reporting requirements and chose not to have clients
in the program.. In Sobriety Court we also work closely with two X Houses, Sequoia House
and Solutions to Recovery. In fact, the owner of each house has been present at a number
of team meetings. Finally, to help solve the problems we have experienced with recovery
issues, the Sobriety Court team organized treatment provider meetings seeking the advice
of the therapeutic community. Early in the development of Sobriety Court, we experienced
a high failure rate with women. As a team, we found this and the overall relapse rate
to be unacceptable. The goal of the meeting was to explore this problem with the
treatment providers and to formulate a consistent programmatic response. Following that
meeting, the Sobriety Court team created a protocol for sanctions following relapse.
Consequently, the modalities of intensive outpatient substance abuse counseling and
domicile treatment in the three quarter house have been utilized with greater frequency.
For the female group, we had to make adjustments in the treatment referral process since
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
sexual abuse, co-dependency and self-esteem issues needed to addressed as part of
recovery. Dual diagnosis issues were also found to be more prevalent in the female
participant group. In the aftercare population, the probation officer needed to be more
attentive to indicators of relapse, such as increasing anxiety, panic attacks and an
observable discomfort with the sober lifestyle. The Sobriety Court has met Key Component
#1 in the collaboration of treatment providers and justice system processing as well as
in the active involvement of the stakeholders in the planning, implementation and
continuing development of the program. Since the Sobriety Court can provide a full
continuum of treatment services, since treatment providers are committed to the drug
court concept and since treatment providers are responsible for changes in the treatment
plan while communicating with the intensive officer, Key Component #4 is being met.
During the past two years, the Sobriety Court team has relied more heavily on use of the
3/4 House. If a participant has been unable to remain abstinent at the time of their
entry into the program or if the home environment is not supportive of sobriety, we often
begin with a period served in the 3/4 house. Once admitted to Sobriety Court, a client
who struggles to remain sober and/or is close to being terminated from the program will
be ordered into the 3/4 house. In our program, the average stay in a 3/4 house is 60
days.
Sobriety Court is organized on a team approach and is dependent on the collaboration of
the three Sobriety Court judges, a representative of the office of the Prosecutor, three
Sobriety Court defense advisors, two intensive probation officers, one aftercare phase
probation officer, a coordinator, the treatment provider and the Sobriety Court law
enforcement officer. This group is present at the team staffing meeting which occurs in
chambers prior to the review hearing. Also, the team staffing is open to the individual
treatment providers, members of the Advisory Board, the staff of other courts and
interested public.
When this model was developed, by design, the role of the probation officers was
strengthened and empowered. Consequently, in our model, the probation officer is the
pivotal partner in the staffing review and in the courtroom. In the review in chambers,
the probation officers suggest the order in which participants will be spoken to by the
judge. This order is based on success; the participant who is doing the best is called
first. Additionally, the probation officer is the primary source of information regarding
the defendant's progress or problems experienced in Sobriety Court. Each team member
questions or responds to the summary offered by the he probation officer. Further, in
the courtroom, the probation officer orally resorts on the participant's progress and
point status. The judge speaks to each individual personally and addresses some more
personal aspect of the progresss in recovery. The more personal comments are drawn from
the reveiw in chambers. The dominant role of the probation officer is also reflected by
their position at the side of the judge in the courtroom. They stand beside the judge in
the space used by the law clerk. The judge listens and responds to the defendant. Again,
the position of the probation officer who visits with the probation officer weekly is
strengthened. The judge, who meets with the participant monthly remains more of a coach
or mentor. The empowered role of the probation officer is a distinctive feature of our
Sobriety Court.
In August 2002, the 52nd District Court submitted to a process evaluation conducted by
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
Western Michigan Tiniversety. The researchers documented their finding that Sobriety Court
was in compliance with the 10 Key Components of Drug Courts. Further, the evaluation
noted that the judges have embraced the principles of the team approach in the assessment
of client progress and that all members of the team are encouraged and supported in
contributing to client discussions. In conclusion, the evaluator stated "the result is a
program that is enthusiastic in the best sense: there is a commitment to each client but
also to the concept of the program and making it as good as it can be". The Sobriety
Court team participated in the Federal Drug Court Planning Initiative in 2001 and
observed the drug court models in Fredericksberg, Virginia, Albuquerque, New Mexico and
Phoenix, Arizona. Additionally, each segment of the team has been represented at all
conferences hosted by the Michigan Association of Drug Court Professionals. Finally, the
Coordinator and Sobriety Court judge have each attended an annual National Drug Court
Conference. In 2003, budget restrictions precluded most training opportunities. However,
the most recent additicn to the team, a 'third defense advocate, attended the Michigan
Conference for Drug Court Professionals in February 2004. Additionally, the probation
officers attended two local seminars on drugs and drug testing. In the past year, the
third Sobriety Court_ intensive officer attended the annual state drug court conference in
Lansing. Since the team has been encouraged to attend :raining and has participated in
training since the planning process began in 1999, Sobriety Court meets Key Component 49.
There are three full time probation officers dedicated to Sobriety Court. The Sobriety
Court intensive probation officers act as the case manager and monitor the participant
throughout the nine-month program. When Sobriety Court began, the maximum caseload for
the intensive phase was designated as 35 intensive cases per probation officer. The
intensive probation officer opens the Sobriety Court file, reviews the Participant Guide,
Sobriety Court Contract and the release of information and explains the rules and
regulations regarding home visits, testing, graduation and revocation. The initial
referrals are made to Ignition Interlock, JAMS, substance abuse counseling and other
programs. Participants are drug tested each time they report to probation and through an
outside agency (JAMS) while in the intensive phase of the program. In addition to the
hour spent weekly with each participant, the intensive probation officers provide some
degree of advocacy for their participants. However, the hour in the office is also
needed to scrutinize the activities of their clients, looking for any indicators of use.
Since Sobriety Court participants tend to falsify AA documentation while in the beginning
stages of the program, the intensive officers take the time to verify the AA contact
listed on the sheet. When necessary, they are able to have fees or the cost of the Impact
Weekend reduced or waived.
In the vast year, we altered the probation office -, As indicated above,
the third sobriety court probation of monitored defendants in the aftercare phase.
As a team, we agreed this did not work. Intensive phase participants began the
manipulation of the new probation officer almost immediately upon entering the Aftercare
Phase. We learned that the intensive officer was most familiar with the participant and
most likely to detect the early warning signs of relapse in the aftercare phase, the
phase where the rigid structure is removed. Due to this, each of the three probation
officers are assigned intensive cases and supervise these same participants in the
aftercare phase. The maximum intensive caseload remains at 35 participants.
Once an individual has officially entered Sobriety Court, an assignment is made to one of
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
three defense attorneys who will represent them while they are in the program. At the
time they enter the program, participants waive the right to counsel of their choice.
The three defense advisors alternate their appearances at review hearings, therefore,
they represent all individuals in the program. The assigned prosecutor attends team
meetings and court sessions. The prosecutor verbalizes the input of his office when a
participant requires a sanction. The defense and prosecuting attorneys have demonstrated
a commitment to the program. They provide a focused judicial presence in the informal
team meeting and illustrate the commitment of a non-adversarial approach. The Sobriety
Court team works as a team and handles the dual responsibility of protecting public
safety and promoting the rights of the participants. Since its inception, the team has
voted on sanctions or revocation and has never taken an action without a vote by the
majority. This meets Key Component #2 of Drug Courts.
The Sobriety Court coordinator attends to Sobriety Court funding issues and formulates,
with the team, the policies and procedures that govern the program. The coordinator
oversees the administration of Sobriety Court and ensures that the drug court protocol is
followed. The program coordinator and staff oversee the collection of statistical data
and the coordinator provides reports as requested. Finally, the drug court coordinator
provides the quarterly reports to the funding unit.
The 52nd District Court-First Division has demonstrated its commitment to collaboration
with community resources with the creation of the Sobriety Court Advisory Board. The
board is composed of individual citizens, community leaders and community groups such as
Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Parents of Murdered Children the Traffic Improvement
Association and the police departments within the jurisdiction of the court. The first
meeting of the Advisory Board was held on August 10, 2001. The role of the Sobriety Ccurt
Advisory Board is to advise the court, otter feedback from a community perspective and
provide a monitor for continuous improvement. On September 12 2001, the Sobriety Court
Executive Board was created to lead the board and help with the establishment of
sub-committees. In October 2002, the executive committee created a 502(c)3, which
permitted the executive board to establish a bank account and allowed for donations of
money and gifts to the program. The donations fund the rewards given to participants at
the review hearings. During the past year, the Executive Board has worked with some
members of the subcommittees to help with graduation and fundraising. The President of
the Executive Board, Michelle Compton, Director of the Oakland County chapter of Mothers
Against Drunk Driving has worked diligently, in her role as President of the Sobriety
Court Executive Board, to help and promote Sobriety Court. Since Sobriety Court relies on
strong community collaboration and partnerships as indicated by the wide range of
agencies involved in the Sobriety Court Advisory Board, Sobriety Court meets Key
Component #10.
Sobriety Court began with a strong police component. Home visits began on Thursday April
19, 2001, funded by a $27,500 grant from the Traffic Improvement Association. Initially,
home visits were scheduled for Thursday evenings and Saturday, times when most defendants
commonly drink or may have a blood alcohol level. Currently, the court contracts with
the Walled Lake Police Department for a part time Sobriety Court police officer. The
officer is provided a defendant information form for all program participants. The form
contains a picture of the defendant and pertinent information about the defendant and
locations where the participant may be found. Such information is essential should an
immediate pickup on a bench warrant be orderd. The intensive officers may accompany the
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
officer on any home visit. Sobriety Court participants are advised at the Sobriety Court
orientation that police home visits may occur at any time. Defendants are instructed to
remove alcohol, drugs, or paraphernalia from the home. This rule, per the contract,
applies also to other residents in the home. The Sobriety Court contract allows for
unlimited visits and search of the home. Further, the officer has the right to order
defendants to submit to breath testing. Finally, the home visit protocol was created so
that the police officer and the probation officers had procedural guidelines for a
consistent response to program violations. When the graduates speak of their experience
with the police component, they indicated unanimously that the police presence gave the
program credibility and was pivotal 'to their compliance and success in the program. Many
of the /participants commented that the random intense scrutiny of those visits reinforced
their own efforts to be sober. For a short period of time in early winter, the court
operated without the benefit of the Sobriety Court officer. During that period, the
infraction rate and the risk taking behaviors of participants were observed to increase.
The Sobriety Court police officer remains an asset to the program and its participants.
The random home visits by the Sobriety Court police officer have continued.
Unfortunately, a number of participants have been found to have hidden alcchol in the
homes. The police officers have been intuitive and, over rime, give the Sobriety Court
team a sense of what the home environment is like. The police officer has provided an
additional perspective to the team. The Sobriety Court team continues to rely on the
input from the police officers at the judicial review hearings.
The ultimate goal of Sobriety Court is to end a defendant's recidivistic drunk driving by
ending their dependence on alcohol and other drugs and thereby increase public safety.
It is generally known that billions of dollars are spent in the battle of alcohol abuse
and dependence. Based on the recidivism study conducted within the court prior to the
implementation of Sobriety Court and studies conducted nationally, we know that over one
third of those convicted of drunk driving will commit a second, third or subsequent
offense. It is also generally known that the cost to the community in terms of serious
injury, high medical expenses, insurance costs, property damage, and increasing costs to
the courts is significant. Sobriety Court was created to monitor and rehabilitate this
group of high risk offenders.
As mentioned in earlier grants and reports, Sobriety Court was created to address the
problem of the repeat drunk driver and high risk first offender. Since the time Sobriety
Court was implemented, the specific goal of Sobriety Court is to reduce drunk driving
recidivism to under 10%. To date, eight defendants who were admitted to the program
committed a new drunk driving offense. This represents a recivism rate of 6% of those who
completed the sobriety court program. Hcwever, there is drug court literature which
suggests that all individuals admitted into a drug court are impacted by their
association with the program. If measured against all individuals admitted into the
program, the eight participants who accrued a drunk driving arrest represent a recidivism
rate of 2%. If measured against the national recidivism rate for adult
treatment/sobriety courts of 16%, the 52-1 District Court Sobriety Court has clearly met
its primary goal of improving public safety by reducing drunk driving recidivism among
high risk first offenders. Should the recidivism rate of this program me measured
against the recidivism rate of repeat offenders nationwide (MADD) of 33%, then it can be
clearly stated that the recidivism rate of our Sobriety Court is remarkable. Most
important is the fact that no participant who completed the full 18 month sobriety court
ATTACHMENT 2
STATEMENT OF WORK
program recidivated with a drunk driving offense. As of February 25, 2005, 129
participants completed the entire 18 month program.
Sobriety Court statistics are kept in an Access database. Basic statistics on
enrollments in the program, phase level, graduations, terminations and recidivism can be
tracked. As part of the Byrne Grant of 2003, a drug court software program was chosen
and documented in the budget. However, once it is in full use, the Sobriety Court team
will have quick access to case management data without having to conduct a manual review
of the files. Since the program had been in existence for over two years prior to the
introduction of the software, it has been labor intensive to backload the data. With
grant funding in 2003-4, the court contracted with Evaluation Assoceates and Consultants,
LLC. They are currently working with the team to create the means of data collection and
the processes that will support an independent process and outcome evaluation. The
independent evaluation submitted by Evaluation Associates and Consultants was sent to the
Office of Drug Control Policy following its submission to the court on January 15, 2005.
This meets Key Component #8.
Since the entire independent evaluation has been submitted to the grantor, it can be
briefly stated that the program was successful in its third year of operation. The
program has met all the process objectives and outcome objectives identified prior to the
evaluation. Additionally it was noted that the program staff and core team members share
a common value in continuous quality improvements in the program.
Finally, since Sobriety Court participants represent the "worst of the worst", the cost
benefit study of this program is already positive. Each of the 262 participants, based
on their prior record and seriousness of the current offense, were candidates for
incarceration. In the majority of these cases, the probation investigator who conducted
the alcohol assessment made a recommendation for some period, if not maximum
incarceration. Given the high cost of a jail day, the number of jail days saved by the
70% successful program retention rate is significant. In addition, to jail days saved,
the program has allowed the participants to maintain employment and to remain with their
families in the community. As in all programs, it is impossible to measure the
intangible; what would have occurred if these defendants did not have the opportunity to
participate in Sobriety Court and learn the tools that promote a quality sobriety. It is
interesting to note that recent record checks of those participants who were revoked from
Sobriety Court and sentenced to jail had a recidivism rate considerably lower than the
30% recidivism rate that characterizes this population.
The cost benefit analysis of the program presents the greatest challenge to program
evaluation. It is known that the societal and other costs are high when dealing with
alcohol/drug use and driving but they are extremely difficult to measure. Typically, we
deal with multiple drunk driving offendes utilizing incarceration. The average cost of a
day in the Oakland County Jail is $89.86. Although it has been extremely difficult to
quantify jail days saved, given the high risk population and the low recidivism rate, it
is strongly suggested that jail cost savings are significant. Further, it is known that
Sobriety Court generates significant social benefits by producing healthy tax-paying and
productive citizens. While program costs can be high (because of the intensive nature of
program intervention), substantial savings accrue because of avoided costs associated
with traffic accidents, incarceration and increased law enforcement costs, along with the
ATTACHMENT 2

advantage of increased social benefits.
