The Referral, Assessment and Plan Project

The Referral, Assessment, and Plan (RAP) Project is a partnership between the Marion County Public Health Department and many community organizations to align providers that serve persons with substance use disorders(SUD) and their families in Marion County and the surrounding area.

The RAP Project aligns these providers via four key initiatives:

  • Offering this website that functions as a searchable online directory of providers in Marion County.
  • A universal referral form and release of information form that providers can complete to refer clients to other providers.
  • Continuous communication meetings between providers in Marion County.
  • A transportation toolkit that includes information on free or reduced-fare transportation available to those in need of transportation to SUD services.

Prior to the RAP Project, providers helping SUD populations establish long-term recovery in the community experienced challenges in knowing all existing and new service alternatives available to clients, and inefficiently and effectively referring clients to other providers. To address these challenges, the RAP Project conducted a community-wide assessment by using surveys, interviews, and focus groups to identify the barriers to effective communication and coordination between providers as well as tangible solutions to those barriers. Participating in provider input collaboratively helped to shape and implement the key initiatives of the RAP Project.

Join us to listen to Dean Babcock, LCSW, LCAC who has a 30-year history of working in the Indianapolis community advancing the creation and improvement of professional treatment for addictive and mental health disorders.
