Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
This bill has serious fiscal impact on the judiciary’s budget. Specifically, the Court has never paid for vivitrol. Programs currently using it are doing so through either Medicaid or a federal grant. Medicaid will only pay for up to one year. This could raise an issue, as the average time for successful completion of ADC is 18 months.
Please note that vivitrol costs $800.00 to $1,200.00 per shot, and shots are administered monthly. As this program authorizes up to 200 participants from ADC programs, the upper range of cost (if there is no Medicaid or insurance coverage for the vivitrol), would be $2,880,000.00 per year, or $14,400.00, annually, per participant.
