Substance Abuse Services <br />The Work First Employment staff completes an AUDIT/DAST-10 on all <br />recipients who apply for WFFA except for those who are 'S' exempt or those <br />who are 'child only' cases. The Employment Social Worker completes the <br />screening and assesses the need to refer. The procedure for the following <br />scenarios is as follOws: <br />· If the assessment is negative (no evidence of substance abuse), the <br /> recipient signs the release form in the event that they should develop a <br /> problem during the time that they are a WFFA recipient. This release <br /> allows the social worker to make referrals to identified agencies and also <br /> to allow follow-up with agencies to assure that the recipient is complying <br /> with recommended treatment provided by the counselor as indicated in the <br /> Mutual Responsibility Agreement (MRA). <br />· If the assessment is positive (evidence of substance abuse), the social <br /> · worker contacts the substance abuse counselor at Piedmont Behavioral <br /> Healthcare. The counselor schedules an appointment, sends an <br /> appointment letter, and notifies the social worker of the appointment. The <br /> social worker and counselor have contact to assure that the recipient is <br /> keeping the appointments and following through with recommended <br /> treatment. <br /> If the assessment is negative, but the social worker suspects by actions,. <br /> appearance, and conduct that some substance abuse may be present, the <br /> Substance Abuse Screening Tool is used. If the result of this is positive, <br /> the recipient is referred to Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare, for <br /> assessment. <br /> <br />Presently the TANF funds, Substance Abuse Initiative Fund, have been <br />cut to 75-80% of the previous year's level. The initial $50.00 assessment <br />fee had been previously charged to this fund. PBH has indicated that they <br />will continue to work with DSS on this initiative due to' the small number <br />of recipients referred. <br /> <br />G. Family Violence Option <br /> The Notification of Family Violence Option form is reviewed with each <br /> recipient assessed in Work First, with the exception of 'child-only' cases. At <br /> the present time, there have been no applicants who have used the waiver to <br /> receive a WFFA check. <br /> <br />If the social worker has a recipient with a domestic violence issue, they can <br />assist them as needed with domestic violence funds, and refer them to <br />Cabarrus Victims Assistance Network (CVAN), counseling at PBH, or private <br />counseling. Presently, CVAN does not work directly with DSS due their <br />confidentiality issues. Social workers can refer a recipient to CVAN and <br />allow them to make their own call to this organization. <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br /> <br />
