Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Colorado Substance Abuse Treatment is "Silo-ed"
Silo: a system, process, department, etc. that operates in isolation from others. --- Oxford Dictionary
We think people in State Government are aware of the problem of Silos, especially when it comes to services and systems impacting people with mental illness.
Being aware of the problem and being able to effectively address it are two different things.
In this case with respect to Substance Abuse Treatment, the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) funds some of what we have in Colorado and some is funded through Medicaid.
This is some of what is available through CDHS:

- Substance Use Services through MSOs
The Colorado Office of Behavioral Health contracts with regional Managed Service Organizations for the provision of substance use disorder treatment services throughout Colorado. They in turn contract with over 40 local providers to deliver a full continuum of care. Funding is not sufficient to support free services, but clients seeking services are offered a sliding fee scale. - The Short Term Intensive Residential Remediation Treatment (STIRRT) program is a 9-month program which begins with two-weeks of residential treatment with a minimum of 112 therapeutic hours over the two week residential stay and 8 to 9 months of continuing care services. It is designed specifically for the substance-abusing offender either male or female; is at least 18 years of age or older; has had at least one prior felony conviction; have had a positive urinalysis prior to admission; have been recommended to a level 4 treatment (enhanced treatment services) based on the Standardized Offender Assessment - Revised (SOA-R); received a level of supervision (LSI) score of 29 or higher; and is facing jail/prison time if not compliant with STIRRT.
Jail Based Behavioral Health Services Program
The Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) was allotted $3,066,446 for the Jail Based Behavioral Health Services Program. The JBBS program supports County Sheriffs in providing screening, assessment and treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders to people who need such services while they are in jails. In October 2011 (HB 10-1352), OBH contracted with County Sheriff’s Departments to serve twenty three counties to provide behavioral health and transition support services for offenders in jails. In October 2012 (SB 12-163), the Correctional Treatment Board voted to fund and expand the Jail Based Behavioral Health Services Program to additional counties across the State. An additional thirteen counties have JBBS programs effective July 1, 2013.
