Background
4'
In January, 1969, the City Council appointed a study committee to review the
c� existing conditions regarding alcoholism and the methods of incarceration,
treatment and rehabilitation of persons arrested while intoxicated. Recom-
mendations for improvement were requested of the committee. The committee was
chaired by Dr. Edwin W. Guinn, then City Council member, and consisted of repre-
sentatives from the medical profession, churches, groups which work with alco-
holics and other concerned citizens. After several meetings of this committee,
a report was submitted to the City Council on October 10, 1969 which outlined
the problem and proposed alternative means of establishing a detoxification
center. The report recommended that the City Council take the necessary steps
to establish a center in Fort Worth for the treatment and rehabilitation of
persons arrested for public drunkenness and of other persons suffering from the
disease of chronic alcoholism. It was suggested by the committee that the
center should be established and operated as a non-profit corporation chartered
by the State of Texas with policy control and administration by a board of
directors on which the City of Fort Worth would be represented.
The City Council accepted the committee's report and the committee proceeded
with the development of a non-profit corporation. Articles of incorporation
and bylaws were developed and approved by the committee and in June, 1970 were
submitted to the State of Texas.
Approximately at this same time the Tarrant County Mental Health and Mental Re-
tardation staff was developing a program for submission to the Federal Government
for funding of a program aimed at achieving the same objectives as those devel-
oped by the City Council study committee. After considerable Federal review and
some modification of the program, the Tarrant County Mental Health and Mental
Retardation Board received notification in July, 1971 of Federal approval of its
program. This comprehensive, large-scale program was projected to cost in
excess of $1,000,000 per year. The local share of the cost of this program
was substantial. Working with officials from John Peter Smith Hospital and
the City of Fort Worth, the Mental Health and Mental Retardation staff developed
a modified program with annual expenditures reduced to $461,093. Utilizing
the services of officials from various agencies, it was possible to reduce
greatly the matching requirements for cash contributions.
Mental Health Health and Mental Retardation Proposal
On Monday, October 18, 1971, the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Board ap-
proved the modified program, and subject to approval of the City of Fort Worth,
will forward this program to the Federal Government for their review. This pro-
gram provides for emergency medical service at John Peter Smith Hospital where
a screening and disposition process will take place. Patients brought to the
emergency room at the hospital will be seen by a physician where a decision will

be made to admit the patient to the hospital if medical attention is required,
assign him to the Alcoholism Annex or return him to the City of Fort Worth
jail. In each instance a physician will make a decision as to the treatment
needed by the patients. An in-patient service will be provided in the Alco-
holism Annex proposed to be located across the street from John Peter Smith
Hospital. There will be twenty beds in this annex with facilities for
both male and female patients. Patients will be admitted to this annex only
if they do not require close medical attention. Some medical capabilities will
be provided in the annex, but the facility will not be staffed and equipped to
handle major medical complications. The primary focus of this program will be
to initiate therapy with each patient for his recovery from alcoholism. Assist-
ance in recovering from the physical side effects of alcoholism and any physi-
cal injury may also be provided. As soon as a patient is admitted to the
annex, efforts will be made to involve the patient in a multi-faceted treat-
ment program and to increase the patient's motivation for recovery. A social
therapist as well as three alcoholism specialists will work with the patients
in attempting to solve the patient's alcoholism problems. The annex will have
its own staff of clerical personnel, a cook and a janitor. While the patient
is in the annex recovering from the physical effects of intoxification, he
will also be visited by out-patient counselors who will attempt to establish
a followup to the case, once the patient is released from the annex.
The out-patient program, is anticipated to be the backbone of the comprehensive
alcoholism treatment program. It will serve all of the patients entering the
program and will provide a wide range of rehabilitation services anticipated
to be needed by the patients. Out-patient clinics will be located in three
different areas of the city. The followup counselors are also responsible
for contacting the family of the patient and initiating and continuing a pro-
gram of counseling support with each family. Intermediate care will be avail-
able for those patients who do not need full time 24-hour in-patient care,
but who are not able to function independently in the community without support
and who need assistance in refining their vocational skills and obtaining em-
ployment. Two halfway houses will be available under the program to provide
this intermediate care.
Advantages to the City of Fort Worth
R Utilization of this program will provide several advantages to the City of
Fort Worth. Facilities will be available for care of patients who are not sick
enough to be admitted to the hospital but still necessitate some close atten-
tion. Based upon a doctor's recommendation, these patients could be admitted
to the alcoholism annex rather than being housed in the City of Fort Worth jail.
Utilization of this facility will also provide the municipal court judges with
a third alternative in disposition of individuals found guilty of public
drunkenness. In addition to confining an individual in the jail or assigning
him to the Fort Worth Rehabilitation Farm, the judge could decide, if space
were available in the annex, that a person should be admitted to the program
for rehabilitation. If this program is successful, it will greatly benefit the
City of Fort Worth by breaking the apparent cycle of habitual alcoholics who
are frequently arrested by City of Fort Worth police officers. Reducing the
public drunkenness problem would greatly relieve police officers, thereby
allowing them to devote more time to other police work.

Request for City Support
The program as developed and approved by the Mental Health and Mental Retarda-
tion Board provides for the contribution from the City of Fort Worth of around
the clock police security for the Alcoholism Annex, which would require the
services of five police patrolmen. In addition, a cash contribution from the
City of Fort Worth of $20,000 has been requested to assist in meeting the local
share of the cost of the program. It is anticipated that it will be January,
1972 before Federal approval is received and the program can actually be
initiated. This corresponds with approximately the time of graduation of
trainees in tht. present Police Academy, and it will be possible to assign five
police officers to this unit without serious curtailment of other police
activities. However, utilization of currently budgeted and authorized police
personnel will reduce the number of policemen available for regular police
work and if this program is continued into fiscal year 1972-72, it would be
desirable to add five additional positions for this alcoholism program. Care-
ful review will be given the results of' this program during its first year and
if the results do not justify the expenditure, the desirability of continuing
City participation in this program will be reevaluated.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council authorize the payment of $20,000 to the
Mental Health and Mental Retardation Board in support of the Alcoholism
Treatment Program and that a transfer be made from the contingency allowance
(Account No. 001-90090) to the, Jail Operations (Account _No. 001-36506) for
It is purpose.

EMERGENCY
The Emergency Services will be provided by the county hospital , John Peter
Smith Hospital . Because of the nature of the disease, all emergency cases will
first be seen at John Peter Smith Hospital where a screening and disposition
process will be done, including all necessary laboratory tests and physical exam-
inations. During regular working hours (weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ) each
patient will be seen first either in the Hospital 's Emergency Room and/or in the
Hospital 's Psychiatric Ward. The attached chart indicates alternatives into and,
out of the Hospital . The patient could go directly to the Psychiatric Ward.
.i The patient could come directly to the Alcoholism Annex from which he would be
taken to either the Emergency Room or the Psychiatric Ward. The patient could
be brought directly to the Emergency Room and after screening by the physician
on duty there could go to the Psychiatric Ward or to a Medical Ward in the Hospital.
The patient could be brought by the police to the Emergency Room where he would
be seen by a physician and sent to either the Psychiatric or a Medical Ward. If
the patient arrives at the Hospital's Psychiatric Ward via any of these routes,
the psychiatrist on the ward will evaluate the patient and admit him either to
the Psychiatric Ward, a Medical Ward, or the Alcoholism Annex for inpatient treat-
ment. If a patient is admitted to a Medical Ward, after the crisis is passed, a
physician on that ward could admit him to the Annex. Thus, a physician's order
(from either the Emergency, a Medical Ward, or the Psychiatric bard) will be
required to admit a patient to the Alcoholism Annex.
During weekends and nights a different procedure will be employed. All
emergency cases will be brought to the John Peter Smith Hospital 's Emergency Room
for screening and disposition. The patient can come directly to the Emergency
a
Emergency - 2
Room, or the patient could come first to the Alcoholism Annex and then be taken
to the Emergency Room. The physicians staffing the Emergency Room will evalu-
ate the patient and admit him either to the Psychiatric Ward, a Medical Ward, or
the Alcoholism Annex for inpatient services.
In each instance a physician will be making the decision as to the treat-
ment needed by the emergency patient. Those patients who are admitted to the
Psychiatric Ward would be those who have a psychosis or who are suspected to have
some psychiatric disorder. Also, there would be some patients admitted to the
Psychiatric Ward who have a psychiatric disorder and who also need close medical
attention. There would be some patients who would need intensive medical super-
vision but who were not suspected of having psychiatric disorder, and these patients
would be admitted to one of the Hospital 's Medical Wards. The physician's decision
that a patient needs close medical supervision (on a Medical Ward or on the
Psychiatric Ward) would be based on the presence of such complications as un-
consciousness, helplessness , withdrawal symptoms, delerium tremens , convulsions,
injury, physical illness uncontrolled because of drinking, and malnutrition and
dehydration.
To assist the house staff of the Hospital 's Emergency Room, the three Alcoholism
Specialists - Therapists of the Inpatient Program operated at the Alcoholism Annex
will be assigned part of their time to the Emergency Room. They will assist
the house staff in caring for the alcoholics in whatever way they can. To assure
the coordination of these Emergency Services with the other four major components
of the Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program, ten percent of the Alcoholism
Program Director's time will be assigned to the Emergency Service. He will be
responsible for coordinating all the program components.
Emergency - 3
If a patient has been admitted to the Psychiatric Ward or to a Medical Ward
in the Hospital , he will remain there only as long as he needs close medical super-
vision. As soon as the physician decides that he can be released from the Hospital ,
he can be admitted to the Alcoholism Annex for inpatient treatment or he can be
discharged to go home. Hopefully, if the physician decides the patient does not
need the inpatient treatment at the Alcoholism Annex, he will send the patient to
the Annex on a referral basis so that the staff at the Annex can arrange for ot4c
patient treatment and possibly placement in a halfway house.

INPATIENT SERVICES - ALCOHOLISM ANNEX
The Inpatient Treatment Program will be operated at the Alcoholism Annex
located across the street from the John Peter Smith Hospital in a two-story
building. Admission to the Alcoholism Annex will be by a physician's order
only. As indicated on the attached chart, most of the entries into the
Alcoholism Annex will be from the John Peter Smith Hospital. Either a
psychiatrist from the Psychiatric Ward or a physician from a Medical Ward
in the Emergency Room can admit a patient to the Alcoholism Annex. It
will also be possible for a private physician and for the Program Physician
to admit a patient to the Annex.
There will be twenty beds at the Annex, and both male and female pa-
tients will be accommodated. The physical facility will be renovated to
fit the needs of the program and will be secure. Patients will be admitted.
to this facility only if they do not require close medical attention. A
patient in a medical crisis must be treated within the John Peter Smith
Hospital . If necessary, a patient admitted to the Annex can be referred
back to the hospital if he needs close medical supervision. Medical atten-
tion will be provided at the Alcoholism Annex by a medical staff, but the
facility will not be staffed and equipped to handle major medical compli-
cations. The primary focus of this program will be to initiate therapy
with each patient for his recovery from alcoholism. Assistance in recov-
ering from the physical side affects of alcoholism and any physical injur-
ies will also be provided. It is anticipated that the length of stay will
average one week and may range from two days to three weeks.
The Alcoholism Program Director will spend sixty percent of his time
in the Inpatient Services. This person will have a Master's degree, or
5
Inpatient Services - Alcoholism Annex - 2
the equivalent, and will have the necessary experience and work training
to implement, supervise, and coordinate the total Alcoholism Program. A
Program Physician, an M.D. with experience in dealing with alcoholics and
their treatment, will spend eighty percent of his time in the Inpatient
Program. When he is on duty, it would be possible for him to see and
evaluate a potential patient and make a disposition -- whether to admit him,
discharge him, or send him to John Peter Smith, or to some other comnunity
facility. The Program Physician will also provide the medical supervision
of all the patients in the inpatient, outpatient, and intermediate care
components of the Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program and will offer
to the staffs his consultation on the treatment programs appropriate for
each patient. Also, a psychiatrist will be retained at five percent of
full time to provide program and case consultation. A registered nurse
will be at the facility 24 hours a day and will have the support of a
nurse's aide and a security aide (a policeman dressed as a nurse's aide)
24 hours a day.
As soon as a patient is admitted to the Alcoholism Annex, efforts will
be made to involve the patient in a multi-faceted treatment program and to
increase the patient's motivation for recovery. The primary thrust of the
-treatment program will be supervised by an MSW Therapist who will spend
forty percent of his time in the Inpatient Service (the other sixty percent
of his time will be in the Outpatient and -the Intermediate Care Services).
Three Alcoholism Specialists-Therapists will function in the Alcoholism
Annex under the supervision of the MSW Therapist. (These Alcoholism-
Therapists will function part of the time in the Emergency Room of John
Inpatient Services - Alcoholism Annex - 3
Peter Smith Hospital to assist the staff there in dealing with alcoholics.
This would also provide for continuity of care and coordination between
the Emergency Services and the Inpatient Services.) These staff members
will initiate .therapy programs for each patient and give support and guid-
ance to the patients. In addition to their efforts the three Outpatient
Counselors assigned to the Outpatient Services will make contact with the
patients in the Alcoholism Annex so that a relationship between the Coun-
selor can be cultivated as soon as possible. At the same time (while the
patient is in the Alcoholism Annex) the six Follow-Up Counselors assigned
to the Outpatient Services will contact the families of the patients and
offer counseling, support, and guidance.
There will be one executive secretary who will serve as the secretary
to the Program Director and the Program Physician and who will be respon-
sible for all the patients' records and major reports. Support staff of
two clerks, a cook, *and a janitor will be provided. Most of the food will
be supplied by transporting meals for the patients from the Hospital across
the street. Thus the cost for food will be written in as a total sum in
the operating expenses of the Alcoholism Annex.
As soon as a patient has recovered from the physical side effects of
alcoholism and a treatment program has been initiated, the patient's dis-
position will be decided by a Patient Evaluation Team. This team will be
composed of the Program Physician, the MSW Therapist, the Outpatient Coun-
selor working with the patient, and perhaps the Alcoholism Program Direc-
tor. This team will decide if the patient is ready to leave the Alcoholism
Inpatient Services - Alcoholism Annex - 4
Annex Inpatient Services. If they decide he is ready, he can be discharged
either to go home or to be placed in a halfway house. With either disposi-
tion, continuing outpatient treatment will be scheduled at the Outpatient
Clinic closest to the patient's residence. With most patients it is anti-
cipated that intensive outpatient treatment efforts will be required. Also,
the Follow-Up Counselors will continue to work closely with the family of
the patient.

i The Outpatient Program is anticipated to be the backbone of the Com-
prehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program. It will serve all the patients
entering the comprehensive program through any of the components and will
provide the wide range of rehabilitation services anticipated to be needed
I
by the patients in the program. The Central Outpatient Clinic will be
located at the Alcoholism Annex and will be supervised by an MSW therapist
(forty-five percent of his time will be assigned to the Outpatient Ser-
vices, and the other fifty-five percent will be assigned to the Inpatient
and Intermediate Care Services. Many patients would come to the Outpa-
tient Program from the Inpatient Program at the Alcoholism Annex, but
entry into the Outpatient Program can be direct, that is, a patient who
does not need inpatient services can be scheduled straightaway in the Out-
patient Program. Some could come directly to the Outpatient Program from
John Peter Smith Hospital 's Psychiatric Ward, the Emergency Room, or a
Medical Ward. (See the attached chart.)
To assist the outpatient staff and to coordinate all facets of the
Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program, the Alcoholism Program Direc-
tor will spend twenty percent of his time in Outpatient Services. The
Program Physician will spend ten percent of his time in the Outpatient
Services offering patient supervision and staff consultation. A psychi-
atrist will be retained at five percent of full time to provide program
and case consultation when needed. The clinical staff located in the Al-
coholism Annex will support both the Inpatient and Outpatient Services'
staffs.
Outpatient Services - 2
In addition to the Central Outpatient Clinic located at the Alcohol-
ism Annex, there will be an Outpatient Clinic located in each of the three
catchment areas served by the alcoholism program. Most of the patients
will first be seen at the Central Outpatient Clinic and then be assigned
to the satellite Clinic closest to his residence. However, it would be
possible for a patient to be treated in a satellite Clinic without pass-
ing first through the Central Clinic.
In each of the three satellite Outpatient Clinics there will be a
fulltime Outpatient Counselor and two fulltime Follow-Up Counselors. The
Outpatient Counselor will be responsible for the case management of each
patient, that is, he will contact the patient as soon as the patient en-
ters the system (probably at the Inpatient Service) and establish a rela-
tionship with the patient and begin a treatment program. He will be res-
ponsible for continuing with the patient throughout his treatment program.
The Follow-Up Counselors will be responsible for contacting the family of
the patient and initiating and continuing a program of counseling and sup-
port with each family. One of the two Follow-Up Counselors assigned to
each satellite Outpatient Clinic will work closely with the Outpatient
Counselor at that Outpatient Clinic, forming a team. The other Follow-Up
Counselor will work closely with the outpatient counselors located at the
y Community Action Agency's neighborhood centers in the catchment areas
(these CAA counselors are currently funded by a grant from the Office of
Economic Opportunity). Thus a second team of CAA outpatient counselor
and Follow-up Counselor will be formed for the catchment area. (See at-
tached map.)
Outpatient Services - 3
These teams in each catchment area will provide the many rehabilita-
tion services needed by the patients and will provide the necessary counsel-
ing to the families. All of the Counselors will include home visits to
patients and families as a major aspect of their activities. Also, these
staff members will function actively within their neighborhood areas to
publicize the services and help available to alcoholics and their famil-
ies and to assist in educating the public about the disease of alcoholism.
These staff members will be encouraged to use aggressive outreadh tactics.

INTERMEDIATE CARE - HALFWAY HOUSES
Intermediate Care will be available for those patients who do not
need full-time, twenty-four hour inpatient care but who are not able to
function independently in the community without structured support and
who need assistance in refining their vocational skills and obtaining
employment. Two halfway houses will be available to provide this inter-
mediate care. Both are located in the central part of Fort Worth and
are older residences converted for this purpose. The men's has a
capacity of thirty, and the women's, ten. It will be possible fora
client to stay in this component of the Comprehensive Alcohol Treatment
Program up to approximately 4 months , although. it is hoped that he will
be able to function without this support after approximately one to two
months. Both halfway houses are currently in operation to a limited
degree as boarding facilities; no counseling staff is provided now,
and there is no treatment or therapy program offered. The atmosphere
in both houses is comfortable and relaxed.
The programs of these halfway houses will be upgraded in order to
provide the services necessary for the Intermediate Care component of
the Alcoholism Treatment Program and to qualify for rating as a Class I
facility by the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. The physical space will
be checked, and any necessary renovations will be made to meet the
following standards. The living space for each client will be adequately
large and comfortable; there will be offices available that are private
and large enough for counseling; the dining room will be able to
accommodate all residents at one time; the living areas will be large
and will be furnished adequately for indoor leisure time activities; and
k
Intermediate Care - Halfway Houses - 2
there will be adequate first-aid supplies and fire precautions.
Room and board will be available to all clients. A cook and
relief cook are currently employed. Supervised living will also be
provided and is described as the following: "to provide parental influence
with regard to appropriate dress , personal hygiene, manners, etc. ; to
assign housekeeping duties; to see that house rules are adhered to;
to be appraised of activities of all clients and to know their where-
abouts at all times; to notify proper authorities in case of emergency
and to take immediate action when necessary." For these purposes two
house managers, one for the women's house and one for the men's house,
and a Director of Halfway Houses will be employed.
Personal - social adjustment will be an important part of the
therapeutic program offered and consists of the following: "a formalized
program of training to assist the individual to acquire personal habits,
attitudes and values and social interaction skills that will enable him
to function effectively and to integrate his total personality to his
environment; particular emphasis to be placed on his emotional reactions
to his disability, his education, his vocational and social experiences,
and his attitude toward total adjustment." Each client will receive at
least five hours a week of individual attention for these objectives.
The Outpatient Counselor who is responsible for the case management of
the client will be active in this respect, and a psychologist and a
social worker will spend some time in individual and group sessions with
all the clients to improve the personal and social adjustment of each.
Thus, competent and qualified staff will be available to assure that this
service is provided.
Intermediate Care - Halfway Houses - 3
Work adjustment is another service to be provided and consists of
the following: "a formalized program whose basic purpose is to aid the
individual in adjusting to the psychological and social demands of a
work setting; this service to include the locating, obtaining, and main-
taining of gainful employment commensurate with the client's ability;
to consist of utilization of work and the work environment to enable
the individual to experience the employer - employee relationship in a
productive environment with the aim of helping the individual adapt to
work situations rather than for the development of job skills." The
Vocational Rehabilitation Courtesy Counselor will function in both the
halfway houses to provide this service with the support of the halfway
houses' staffs.
To assure coordination between this program and all the other
services of the Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program, the
Alcoholism Program Director will devote five percent of his time to the
Intermediate Care Program.
Individual counseling and group counseling will be offered in the
helfway houses by the psychologist and the social worker who will be
operating in all the components of the Comprehensive Alcoholism Treat-
ment Program with part of their time assigned to the Immediate Care
Program, thus insuring continuity of care. Medical supervision of the
clients will be provided by the Program Physician who will check the
medication of any of the clients that might be receiving and who will
be at the halfway houses a specified period of time each week. Any
medical emergency that might arise will not be handled at the halfway
house, but the client will be immediately transferred to the John Peter
Intermediate Care - Halfway Houses - 4
Smith Hospital for attention. Transportation except in emergencies
will be provided via the public transportation facilities which are
readily accessible to both halfway houses.

EDUCATION, TRAINING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES
To capitalize on the expertise of an existing agency, the Education, Training,
and consultation Program will be administered by the Tarrant County Council on
Alcoholism who is already engaged in such activities. Staff employed through
this grant will 'be assigned to the Council offices and provide the services as
herein described. An Education, Training, and Consultation Coordinator will provide
program direction and administrative responsibility for a vigorous program of ed-
ucation, training, and consultation, and this person will be a psychologist wit?1'
experience in such activities and will spend eighty percent of his time in this
component (the other twenty percent of his time is allocated to the Intermediate
Care Service). It will also be the responsibility of the Coordinator to utilize
the staff employed in the various Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program com-
ponents to assist in the planned program of education , training, and consultation
services.
In addition, two Education, Training, and Consultation Specialists will be
employed to provide education and training not only to the staffs in all components
of the total Comprehensive Alcoholism Treatment Program, but also to community
groups and agencies. Support staff of two secretaries will be provided to handle
all the clerical and reporting procedures.
The Education, Training, and Consultation Coordinator will be responsible
for working with clergymen through organized religion. He will arrange and conduct
workshops and seminars for community clergymen and ministerial students and will
provide consultation to individual clergymen about the problems and techniques
of pastoral counseling for the alcoholic and his family.
The Coordinator will develop liaison with the public school system for the
development of training institutes for school teachers and administrators. The
Education, Training and Consultation Services - 2
influence of the school system is identified as a strategic and potent force in
community and family life. The potential of the school system for the prevention
and control of alcoholism consequently will be given high priority in education,
training, and consultation services. Additional activities will include the
provision of sery ices to public welfare personnel , public health nurses, and
other health and social welfare personnel .
An initial goal of the Education, Training, and Consultation Program- will be
s
to give adequate publicity to the inauguration of this new comprehensive treatment
program and to stimulate appropriate utilization of the various elements of service.
This will be achieved through use of the mass media and operation of a speaker's
bureau. Close coordination and utilization of the staffs of the Outpatient Clinics
will assist in achieving these goals.
i Although this program has public relations implications, this service is viewed
as a program of prevention with both long and short range goals rather than one that
seeks merely to project a favorable public image of the Comprehensive Alcoholism
Treatment Program.
It is anticipated that prior to the opening of each service element, there
will be a two week intensive inservice training and orientation program for the
staff of each service element. The development of a program to meet the inservice
training will be the responsibility of the Education, Training, and Consultation
Coordinator. This inservice staff training program will be interdisciplinary.
Students from the Brite Divinity School of Texas Christian University and
the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, as well as graduate students from
Education, Training and Consultation Services - 3
the University of Texas at Arlington Graduate School of Social Work, are expected
to be placed in the various service elements of the Comprehensive Alcoholism
Treatment Program as part of their graduate training. Graduate student placements
have mutual benefits in that they provide assistance and stimulation to both staff
and clients in the services while the students receive training and thus contribute
to the pool of professional manpower trained to work in alcoholism programs.
