ADAMS COUNTY became an ARI site in January 2018 to launch a mental health court; expand its existing drug court; involve pretrial services; and begin its Reinforcing Behaviors, Individualized Case Plans, Skill Building and Engagement (RISE) program. In 2021, Adams County ARI again expanded to create an additional ARI-eligible caseload and expand treatment and service opportunities for all its treatment tracks. Operated out of the Adams County Probation Department, the Adams County ARI program includes individual case management, Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EDMR), substance use disorder counseling, access to community-based self-help meetings, and a Probation Caseload Incentive Program (LEADS) for ARI participants. Adams County ARI is responsive to social determinants of health by providing participants emergency and transitional housing opportunities, transportation assistance, and other assistance based on participants’ individualized case plan and personal needs.
