Report
Summary
The City had an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with ADHS for the construction, operation and maintenance of the CCARC (formerly known as Local Alcohol Reception Center or LARC) on the grounds of the Arizona State Hospital. The IGA expired Dec. 31, 2017. The City constructed the facility that houses CCARC, maintains ownership of the facility and the right to continue to use it for CCARC with the expiration of the contract.
CCARC serves the community of Phoenix and combines medical and behavioral interventions to address a patient's psychiatric and substance abuse issues. CCARC provides methadone detox services and substance abuse treatment, which includes day treatment, partial hospitalization, inpatient detox and hospital inpatient treatment services.
Three years ago, MMIC was competitively selected and entered into a contract with State of Arizona for the delivery of mental health services in Maricopa County. The contract includes provision of local alcoholism reception center services as described in Arizona Revised Statutes title 36, chapter 18, article 2. As a result, MMIC is the sole source for the Regional Behavioral Health Authority and has contracted with Community Bridges, Inc. to be its service provider, no other entities can be solicited for proposals for this service.
