Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The proposed project will provide non-medical detoxification services for homeless individuals who are substance abusers and who suffer from dual diagnosis as well as longer term (4 - 6 month) residential treatment services.  The funding would provide 15 non-medical detoxification beds with the appropriate supervisory staff to ensure safe, monitored detoxifcation from controlled substances. Case management services will assist in referring individuals to appropriate treatment services for continued stabilization.  Benefits to the state include reduced criminal justice system interventions and reduced treatment recidivism into state funded substance abuse treatment services.
