All correspondence must be made through the Vendor Portal. Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department of Corrections is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive evidence based, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive treatment and recovery program for incarcerated individuals housed in six separate facilities at the Pastore Center Complex. Services must be targeted at creating positive behavioral change, promoting public safety, mitigating the possibility of relapse, and reducing the statistical likelihood of recidivism. Program Goals 1. To promote public safety through the effective community health oriented, evidence-based, trauma informed, culturally inclusive, recovery focused treatment of individuals with substance use disorders who are incarcerated at the RIDOC. 2. Coordinate treatment activities with facility-based corrections professionals, Adult Counselors, Community Corrections (Probation and Parole), and other appropriate agencies. 3. To teach participants cognitive skills and cognitive restructuring with a strong focus on criminal thinking. 4. Facilitate participant acceptance of responsibility for criminal behavior. 5. To teach participants to manage attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and emotions responsible for accountability and community protection. 6. To reduce crime/recidivism through cognitive restructuring pro-social skill building and targeting dynamic criminogenic risk-factors. 7. Initiate and maintain evidence-based recovery support services for inmates while in prison with strong re-entry plans for on-going recovery efforts upon release. 8. Assist program participants in a smooth and safe transition to the community with linkage to follow-up care/services, as appropriate. 9. Facilitate the movement of participants from one level of security to another by designing a treatment model with curriculum that is essentially the same in all facilities. Participants who move from one facility to another will be prioritized for admission to services in the receiving agency. Since there is only one residential model (Medium Facility), this requirement does not apply to that service.
