Worksheet: Building Blocks of a Sustainable AOT Program

Pdf Summary

This document is a worksheet that assesses the incorporation of the "building blocks" of a sustainable Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) program. The worksheet includes various building blocks and asks if the program has secured buy-in from key leadership, reached a shared understanding of the law and funding landscape, determined the design for judicial engagement, established a mechanism for oversight of the program and participants, created written policies, procedures, and forms, held regular stakeholder meetings, printed materials to inform participants of their rights and responsibilities, educated stakeholders and the community, tracked data for program evaluation and improvement, and mentored neighboring communities.<br /><br />The worksheet asks specific questions for each building block, such as whether stakeholders are represented on the AOT implementation team, whether the team has discussed and reached consensus on state AOT laws and funding, and whether the program has standardized forms for various purposes.<br /><br />The document also states that funding for it was made possible by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and that the views expressed in the document do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services.<br /><br />Overall, this worksheet serves as a tool to evaluate the implementation of a sustainable AOT program by assessing the presence or absence of key building blocks.
