Administrative Office of Courts and Probation Publishes the Revised Standardized Model for Services: A Collaborative Step Forward

The Administrative Office of the Courts & Probation (AOCP) is proud to announce the release of its revised Standardized Model for Services. As noted in the document, "The revised Standardized Model for Services was developed through a collaborative effort led by the Rehabilitative Services Unit and in collaboration with engaged members of the Registered Service Provider Network. " This initiative reflects a shared commitment to strengthening service quality, enhancing provider support, and improving outcomes for justice involved individuals.

Recognizing the Contributors

The AOCP extends sincere appreciation to the professionals who contributed their time, insight, and experience to this effort. Representatives from AOCP Rehabilitative Services-including Kimberley Mundil, Renee A. Faber, and Valerie Consbruck-worked alongside providers from Abbott Counseling, ACCS, CenterPointe, COR Therapeutic Services, HopeSpoke, Inner Clarity Counseling, Lutheran Family Services, Vigilnet, and Western Alternative Corrections. Their collective knowledge "contributed significantly to the success of this initiative."

A Model Designed for Integration and Impact

The revisions were guided by a desire to foster collaboration with the registered service provider network and support the quality of services across the continuum for justice involved individuals.

Key enhancements include:

  • A comprehensive service model that reflects the full continuum of AOCP services.
  • Clear guidance documents to ensure providers understand expectations and requirements.
  • Improved clarification of criminogenic risk factors and associated training standards.
  • Defined licensure and facility guidelines for clinical service providers.
  • Strengthened expectations for provider competence and performance.
  • A structured process for addressing provider concerns, aligned with AOCP accountability protocols.
  • A new Provider Concern document  outlining priorities and response procedures.
  • Updates to the Standard Reporting Format, incorporating ASAM IV requirements for more robust reporting and recommendations.
  • A structured program plan- template for use during the provider registration process.

Looking Ahead

The revised Standardized Model represents a significant step toward greater consistency, transparency, and quality across the provider network. By establishing clearer expectations and strengthening communication pathways, AOCP and its partners are better positioned to support behavior change, risk reduction and community safety as well as supporting individuals on their path toward stability and success. Training is being developed and will be made available as a virtual training scheduled for fall 2026.

This collaborative achievement underscores the value of shared expertise and the ongoing commitment of Nebraska's provider community. AOCP looks forward to continued partnership as these improvements are implemented statewide.
