Description

The District of Columbia Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) is an independent federal investigation and supervision entity within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for defendants who are released into the community while awaiting disposition of their cases in both the D.C. Superior Court and U.S. District Court. PSA is mandated to provide comprehensive treatment services to persons ordered to undergo such treatment as part of either pretrial or post-sentence supervision. These persons may be dually diagnosed with both mental health and chemical dependency issues and may include persons of varying cultural backgrounds who may be non-English speaking, i.e., Spanish. PSA intends to accept proposals for five (5) categories of substance abuse treatment services. The treatment categories required include: (1) Outpatient Treatment, intensive and regular, (2) Detoxification Treatment, social and medical, (3) Residential Treatment, (4) Transitional Treatment and (5) On-site Counseling Sessions, group and targeted group interventions. Potential offerors may propose on any of the five categories. However, potential offerors must be able to provide all services required within the category or categories being offered. All treatment programs shall maintain certification and/or licensure through the appropriate state where the treatment program resides.
