888 Program

The 888 Program was implemented to provide assessment, referral, and case management services to eligible inmates of the Sedgwick County Detention Facility. When requested by referral agencies, a D&A assessment is completed. Based on the assessment, the client is referred to a level of treatment that matches the intensity of the client's substance abuse problem. Should there not be an available treatment opening when the client is released from jail, the client is placed on a waiting list and provided with case management services that specifically include communicating with and updating service agencies regarding consumer progress, referring to community agencies for specialized service needs, and assisting consumers through the drig and alcohol treatment continuum of care. Case Management services continue until:

consumer has successfully completed treatment services
consumer has been discharged due to noncompliance
consumer has successfully entered any other facility's case management program.

Services are provided to individuals who are:

At the time of the request for an assessment, detained in the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility;
