REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) – On-Site Treatment and Behavioral Health Services

Clinton County Probation Department

State Fiscal Year 2027 (SFY27)

OVERVIEW

The Clinton County Probation Department is seeking proposals from qualified individuals, agencies, or organizations to provide on-site substance use treatment, behavioral health, counseling, assessment, and related support services in support of the county’s Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) program for State Fiscal Year 2027.

The ARI program serves moderate-to-high risk individuals involved in the criminal justice system who would otherwise be at risk of incarceration in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). Services are intended to address criminogenic needs, substance use disorders, behavioral health concerns, responsivity factors, and barriers to successful community supervision.

The selected contractor(s) will provide on-site treatment, counseling, behavioral health intervention, participant stabilization, and supportive service coordination designed to support treatment engagement, supervision compliance, relapse prevention, stabilization, and long-term behavior change.

Funding for this contract is contingent upon the receipt of SFY27 Adult Redeploy Illinois funding through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA). The anticipated grant period is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND

Clinton County’s Adult Redeploy Illinois program utilizes evidence-based supervision, treatment engagement, behavioral health intervention, coordinated case management, and multidisciplinary collaboration to reduce recidivism and provide alternatives to incarceration.

Participants served through the ARI program frequently present with substance use disorders, behavioral health concerns, co-occurring disorders, trauma-related needs, and additional responsivity factors that contribute to justice involvement and supervision instability.

Service delivery is structured to ensure interventions are responsive to assessed participant risk and need, with participants receiving ongoing treatment engagement, behavioral health support, supervision coordination, and service monitoring consistent with ARI program expectations.

The County is seeking qualified providers capable of delivering collaborative on-site treatment and behavioral health services integrated within the ARI program structure.
