Outcomes

With the move to a larger facility able to qualify for state licensure, we expect to provide services to more than 1,000 individuals each year—an increase of 66%.   Additional goals that will be measured and tracked, in relation to SAMHSA National Outcome Measurements, include:

  • Increase in completion of residential treatment
  • Increase in abstinence from drugs/alcohol upon completion of treatment
  • decrease in criminal justice involvement
  • increase in the number of individuals who complete treatment with housing
  • improvement in social connectedness
  • a reduction in PTSD and/or trauma related symptoms
  • 100% of individuals  who are eligible will apply for mainstream entitlements
  • 100% of individuals will have increased access to services
  • 100% of individuals determined to need employment support will be referred to an employment assistance/workforce development program
  • 80% of individuals will report improved relations with their children/family
  • 100% of children co-clients in PPWI/PWC program will be assessed for developmental delays/trauma/other common issues associated with substance-dependent mothers
  • 100% of children co-clients in residential family program will receive therapeutic interventions as is appropriate

Additional outcomes anticipated from treatment include numerous individual, family, and community benefits, as well as cost savings over time:

  • Prevention of future substance use disorders in children
  • Reduced recidivism and associated court, incarceration, parole/probation costs
  • Reduced costs related to the current and future criminal activity of children
  • Employers save via reduced absenteeism from substance use, domestic violence, etc.
  • Welfare rolls reduced through increased employability, job retention, and self-sufficiency
