| Project Description: | |||||||||
| The funding will support substance abuse for at-risk youth (age 12-17) throughout the Tri-County area (Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach), providing additional and much needed programs and services for the expansion of all our theraputic programs. With the increase in population throughout South Florida it is imperative that The Starting Place expand our overall program(s) to accomodate the increase in number of adolescents who will need our services. | |||||||||
| Is this a water project as described in Chapter 2002-291, Laws of Florida? | No | ||||||||
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| The Starting Place is proud of its excellent success rate. Seven out of ten clients (ages 12-17) or 70%, remain drug-free after one year of graduating from our facility. Tracking and staying involved with the client after they graduate from our program enables us to monitor their success and follow their progress. We chart each client up to 12 months after they leave our program. Should we notice that the client problems with drugs and alcohol have resurfaced, we will then recommend additional treatment for the client. | |||||||||
