Impact Bond: Salt Lake County Pay for Success REACH Initiative
Stage of development: Implementation
Policy sector: Criminal justice
Intervention: The intervention is based on the First Step House (i.e. FSH) model, which addresses five major domains defined by the acronym REACH: Recovery, Engagement, Assessment, Career Development, and Housing. The REACH program model was built on the framework of risk-need-responsivity (i.e. RNR) principles, and is designed for adult males assessed as high-risk, high-need who are diagnosed with moderate to severe subtstance disorders. The program aims to address the major criminogenic needs that have the greatest impact on reducing recidivism, including antisocial behaviors, antisocial personality/negative emotionality, antisocial attitudes and cognitions, antisocial associates, problems with school and work, lack of prosocial activities, family and marital problems, and substance abuse. The program has adopted several evidence-based interventions, including MRT, CENAPS Model fo Relapse Prevention, other CBTs, and Motivation Interviewing to attenuate treatment resistance, facilitate mental health treatment through interagency partnerships, provide housing, and career development services.
