Summary: The Cook County Suburban Municipal Districts Drug Court Service Enhancement Program (DCSEP) builds upon the court’s capacity to help program participants as follows: assess needs, offer practical recovery supports, reduce financial and access barriers to treatment through integration of clinical case management with health literacy and insurance assistance, and strengthen client outcomes through targeted evidence-based medication-assisted and residential treatment services. The program was implemented last year in three suburban drug treatment courts in Cook County: 1) the Fourth Municipal District (Maywood), 2) the Fifth Municipal District (Bridgeview), and 3) the Sixth Municipal District (Markham). This amendment would increase the award amount by $170,673, representing carryover funds from the first award year.
