Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Cash Advances. Implementing entities shall normally be reimbursed for expenses
				incurred upon submission of a monthly fiscal report. The Council recognizes
				that in some instances the implementing entity may not possess sufficient
				resources to support the program described in the award agreement on a
				reimbursable basis and that individual programs may require substantial
				start-up costs. Consequently, implementing entities may request a cash advance
				to cover the initial period of the agreement. Such requests must be in writing
				to the Executive Director within 30 days prior to the anticipated start date of
				the funded program and should include the purpose of the proposed expenditure
				and the reasons necessitating the advance.
b) Expenditure Reimbursements. Disbursement
				of Trust Funds shall be made on the basis of expenses and obligations reported
				on a monthly fiscal report. Obligations reported on the Fiscal Report will be
				disbursed only if the payment is to be liquidated within 30 calendar days after
				receipt of the State warrant. This report shall be submitted monthly unless
				otherwise specified in the award agreement. Requests for disbursement of Trust
				Funds made on fiscal reports that are submitted later than the specified
				deadline will be paid at the discretion of the Council. Requests for final
				reimbursement must be received by the Council no later than 45 calendar days
				after the termination of the agreement.
c) Timing of Disbursement. Implementing
				entities should anticipate a delay of approximately 4-6 weeks from the
				submission of the request for disbursement until the receipt of the State
				warrant. Implementing entities should consider this delay when calculating the
				disbursal request by projecting which obligations will need to be liquidated
				upon receipt of the State warrant.
d) Final Disbursement. The final disbursement
				of Trust Funds shall be made on the basis of expenditures reported in the final
				financial status report. This disbursement shall be made on the basis of total
				agreement costs and shall not be made until the implementing entity has
				satisfied any applicable match requirements of the award agreement. Should the
				implementing entity fail to meet the match required in the agreement, an
				appropriate adjustment shall be made in the final disbursement.

				  assessment methods such as phallometry, viewing time and polygraphy may have
				  particular utility to obtain objective behavioral data about the client that
				  may not be readily established through other assessment means; explore the
				  reliability of client self-reporting; and explore potential changes, progress
				  and/or compliance relative to treatment and other case management goals and
				  objectives, not determine guilt or innocence. Each assessment method is further
				  explained in Section
				  1905.140.
a) Evaluators obtain specific informed
				consent from clients prior to using psychophysiological measures.
b) Evaluators are familiar with the strengths
				and limitations of psychophysiological instruments and note these issues when
				interpreting and communicating the findings from these instruments.
c) Evaluators take reasonable steps to obtain
				assurances that examiners utilizing psychophysiological assessment instruments
				are appropriately trained in the use of those instruments, use accepted
				methods, and adhere to applicable professional/discipline-specific standards or
				guidelines.
d) Evaluators recognize
				that the findings from psychophysiological measures are to be used in
				conjunction with other sources of assessment information, not as the single
				source of data for any assessment.
e) Evaluators recognize that the results of
				psychophysiological measures are not to be used as the sole criterion for any
				clinical decision regarding offending, including, but not limited to, the
				following:
1) Estimating level of risk for
				recidivism;
2) Making
				recommendations for release to the community from a correctional, institutional
				or other noncommunity placement;
3)
				Determining treatment completion; or
4) Drawing conclusions regarding compliance
				with or violations of conditions of release or community placement.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 20 - CORRECTIONS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT › Part 1905 › Subpart B - STANDARDS OF PRACTICE › Section 1905.80 - Treatment Interventions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Sexual abuser-specific treatment is designed to assist clients with effectively
				managing thoughts, fantasies, feelings, attitudes and behaviors associated with
				their potential to sexually abuse or their risk for sexual re-offense and to
				develop a prosocial lifestyle that is inconsistent with offending. Sexual
				abusers are a heterogeneous population, with risk levels and treatment needs
				that can differ markedly. Therefore, sexual abuser-specific treatment services
				are best offered and provided along a continuum of care (from correctional,
				institutional, inpatient or residential facilities to community settings) and
				are matched to the assessed recidivism risk and treatment needs of a given
				client.
b) Research indicates that
				treatment for criminal justice-involved populations, including adult sexual
				abusers, is most effective when it is delivered in accordance with the
				evidence-based principles of correctional intervention (risk, need and
				responsivity). As applied to treatment interventions for sexual abusers, this
				translates into the following:
1) Risk:
				Sexual abusers presenting a higher risk of reoffending receive a greater
				intensity and dosage of treatment services, while lower risk sexual abusers
				receive less. Providing an inappropriate intensity of services may negatively
				affect treatment effectiveness and recidivism risk.
2) Need: Treatment primarily targets
				research-supported dynamic risk factors that are linked to recidivism (i.e.,
				criminogenic needs) over targets of intervention that are not empirically
				linked to recidivism.
3)
				Responsivity: To address general responsivity factors, evidence-based
				intervention models are broadly structured, cognitive-behavioral, and
				skills-oriented. Unstructured, insight-oriented models typically are less
				effective in reducing sexual recidivism and do not constitute primary
				interventions in the treatment of sexual abusers. To address specific
				responsivity factors, services are delivered in a manner that accommodates
				client characteristics, such as level of intellectual functioning, learning
				style, personality characteristics, culture, mental and physical disabilities,
				and motivation level. Services also build upon client strengths, which may
				include motivation, ability to read and write, lifestyle stability, prosocial
				support systems, and willingness to comply with supervision
				requirements.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 20 - CORRECTIONS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT › Part 1905 › Subpart C - APPROVAL AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES › Section 1905.100 - Treatment Methods

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Treatment providers working with sexual abusers shall utilize empirically
				supported methods of intervention. Recommended methods include structured,
				cognitive-behavioral, and skills-oriented treatment approaches that target
				dynamic risk factors.
1) Treatment providers
				deliver services to clients using a variety of modalities, including
				individual, family and group therapy, that are matched to each client's
				individual intervention needs and responsivity factors.
2) Treatment providers assist clients with
				identifying and analyzing the individual's factors (e.g., environmental,
				cognitive, affective and relational) that increase the individual's
				vulnerability to engage in sexually abusive behaviors.
3) Treatment providers use
				cognitive-behavioral techniques, at the earliest opportunity, to help clients
				develop and rehearse strategies (i.e., avoid or escape high risk situations,
				use adequate coping skills) to effectively manage situations that may increase
				their risk of sexually abusing or otherwise reoffending.
4) Treatment providers use behavioral
				methods, such as education, prosocial modeling, skill practice, rehearsal of
				strategies, redirection and positive reinforcement, to teach or enhance skills
				that will help clients achieve prosocial goals.
5) Treatment providers encourage clients to
				practice the skills they learned in treatment and ensure that these skills
				generalize to clients' environments.
6) Treatment providers assist clients in
				developing individualized strategies and plans for effectively managing their
				risk of sexual abuse or other harmful or illegal behaviors. These plans include
				specific strategies for avoiding or limiting access to potential victims,
				recognizing and coping with risk factors, and building social support
				systems.
7) Treatment providers
				assist clients with identifying and enhancing prosocial interests, skills and
				behaviors that the clients themselves seek to enhance or attain (i.e., approach
				goals that are oriented toward a nonoffending lifestyle), as opposed to
				strictly focusing on managing inappropriate thoughts, interests, behaviors and
				risky situations (i.e., avoidance goals).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 20 - CORRECTIONS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT › Part 1905 › Subpart C - APPROVAL AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES › Section 1905.110 - Treatment Progress and Completion

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Treatment providers shall recognize and communicate that
				  successful completion of a sexual abuser treatment program/regimen indicates
				  that a client has demonstrated sufficient progress in meeting the specified
				  series of goals and objectives of an individualized treatment plan designed to
				  significantly reduce and reasonably manage the individual's risk to reoffend.
				  Completion of treatment should be understood as meaning the successful
				  completion of treatment, and not as the cessation of court-ordered,
				  offense-specific treatment or the completion of the sentence imposed by the
				  court or the Prisoner Review Board. Successful completion of treatment may not
				  end the sex offender's need for ongoing rehabilitation or elimination of risk
				  to the community.
a) Treatment
				providers develop written treatment contracts/agreements (e.g., treatment
				consent forms) to ensure clarity and agreement between the provider and
				clients. The contracts address, at minimum, the following:
1) The nature, goals and objectives of
				treatment;
2) The expected
				frequency and duration of treatment;
3) Rules and expectations of treatment
				program participants;
4) Rewards
				and incentives for participation and progress;
5) Consequences of noncompliance with program
				rules and expectations; and
6)
				Criteria used for assessing progress and determining program
				completion.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 20 - CORRECTIONS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT › Part 1905 › Subpart C - APPROVAL AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES › Section 1905.140 - Pharmacological Interventions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Treatment providers shall recognize that the usage of
				  pharmacological interventions may be beneficial to the offender and support
				  effective risk management and risk reduction.
a) For adult sex offenders, when used in
				combination with other treatment approaches, biological interventions like
				testosterone-lowering hormonal treatments may be linked to greater reductions
				in sexual arousal. Nonhormonal psychotropic medications can also be effective
				supplements to standard therapeutic interventions for sex offenders.
				Pharmacological interventions are not typically used for all sexual offenders,
				but are often applied to those with paraphilias or offense-specific patterns of
				sexual arousal that could be altered through the use of these interventions.
				Further, the interventions should be integrated into a comprehensive treatment
				program that addresses other static and dynamic risk factors that contribute to
				sexual offending.
b) Hormonal
				Agents for Managing Sexually Abusive and Paraphilic Behaviors
A number of hormonal agents have been introduced as
				  pharmacological treatments for reducing testosterone and sexual drive in
				  individuals with paraphilias and/or who have engaged in sexually abusive
				  behaviors. Primary examples include medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA - Depo
				  Provera), Leuprolide acetate, cyproterone acetate, and gonadotropin-releasing
				  hormone analog. These chemical agents, referred to as antiandrogens, act by
				  breaking down and eliminating testosterone and inhibiting the production of
				  leutinizing hormone through the pituitary gland, which in turn inhibits or
				  prevents the production of testosterone. Because testosterone is associated
				  with sexual arousal, the use of these agents generally results in a reduction
				  of sexual arousal. This reduction in sexual arousal is assumed to also reduce
				  the motivation for sexual offending in individuals predisposed to those
				  behaviors.
c) Nonhormonal
				Agents for Managing Sexually Abusive and Paraphilic Behaviors
1) Despite there being no double-blind
				placebo-controlled treatments of the efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake
				inhibitors (SSRI) for the treatment of sexual offenders, SSRI have been
				reported to be the most commonly prescribed agents for sexual offenders, at
				least in the United States and Canada (i.e., 50.3 % of community and 55.3 % of
				residential programs in the United States, and 47.4 % of community and 75% of
				residential programs in Canada, treating adult male sex offenders prescribe
				SSRI for clients).
2) As is the
				case with hormonal agents, the prescriptive use of nonhormonal pharmacological
				agents to treat sexual offenders will not address all etiologies and risk
				factors and should therefore be combined with psychotherapy specific to sexual
				offenders.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 20 - CORRECTIONS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT › Part 1910 - JUVENILE SEX OFFENDER EVALUATION AND TREATMENT › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 1910.10 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) In 1997, the
				Illinois General Assembly approved legislation that established the Sex
				Offender Management Board. Since its inception, the Board has been charged with
				protecting victims and enhancing community safety. The purpose of this Part is
				to establish requirements for the evaluation, treatment, and monitoring of
				juvenile sex offenders to achieve these goals.
b) The following principles were developed to
				guide individuals and groups toward practices and systems that achieve the
				Board's goal of "no more victims":
1) Sexual
				abuse causes harm, and the safety of the community is paramount to any policy
				or practice concerning juveniles who commit sexual offenses.
2) All juveniles adjudicated for a sex
				offense described in Section 10 of the Sex Offender Management Board Act
				[20 ILCS 4026/10 ]
				must be provided a comprehensive evaluation designed specifically for juveniles
				who commit sexual offenses.
3)
				Comprehensive evaluation and treatment shall address the full range of the
				juvenile's sexually inappropriate behaviors, legal or illegal, and holistically
				describe the juvenile who commits sex offenses, including identifying the
				youth's strengths, weaknesses and needs.
4) A multidisciplinary team shall be
				established to ensure that the juvenile's need for treatment, supervision, and
				management and the victim's need for safety and well-being are met.
A) The team will make recommendations
				regarding the juvenile's placement in the community, supervision and
				treatment.
B) The team will engage
				the juvenile's family and/or caregivers in the process of decision
				making.
C) The team is responsible
				for ensuring that practices are guided and determined by the most current,
				empirically-based practices.
5) Decisions regarding any and all contact
				between the victim and the juvenile who committed the sexual offenses,
				including contact through family reunification, attendance at school, social
				activities and participation in treatment, will be based on community safety
				and the well-being of victims and the recommendations of the multidisciplinary
				team.
6) Progress in treatment must
				be demonstrated by a change in the juvenile's behaviors and attitudes that
				support sex offending, the elimination of sex offending and an increase in
				pro-social and interpersonal skills.
