WILD HOG OFFENSE
Continuing Care
As presented by
“Coach” Rocky Halter
AIM (Plan)
Team huddle
Repeated Exposure
Talk up continuing care as an option for
everyone receiving services at the
residential treatment level.
Change (Do)
Execute Play (WILD HOG)
– Centers – Screening personnel describe Continuing Care prior to
admission for services; they identify what may be blocking
strategies to protect client
– Quarterback – Primary counselor during course of treatment and
Continuing Care; helps provide direction, encouragement, and a
sense of stability
– Tackles & Guards – Reference is made to Continuing Care in the
course of educational classes; addresses blocking barriers
identified by client
At the snap, the team pulls together with the goal of having
Continuing Care included in the master plan of care developed by
the client.
RESULTS (study)
• Out of 309 plays,
there were 43 touchdowns
• Outcomes for this season were compared to
outcomes from the previous season when Continuing
Care was not available – this season 81% of clients
6 months post admission were free from drug use.
Last season only 79% were clean.
Continuing Care Wins !!!
NEXT STEPS (Act)
With this information, the team decided to
expand the use of the CC offense to
those completing outpatient treatment.
IMPACT (Business Case, Lessons Learned)
• A fumble by one of the players must be
recovered quickly (staff turnover
resulted in a sharp decrease at one
point during implementation)
• Fans are essential (easy to lose
momentum without continued cheering)
The bucket of ice water
feels really good!!!
