Project Description:
Serenity House proposes to implement a pilot project which incorporates multiple recommendations of the Office of Drug Control Policy, the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association, and the District XII Human Services Board. The project, the Interdisciplinary Managed Care Initiative, funds a high-skilled team of certified and licensed professional staff who will manage the care of high risk substance abusers with multiple disorders.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
A primary goal of this program is to reduce public costs through an aggressive managed care approach to chronic substance abusers. By targeting high utilizers of publicly-funded, high cost services and coordinating effective interventions for this population, this program will divert substance abusers from the deep penetration into costly criminal justice, mental health, health care, and mental health systems.

Projected Pre-Treatment vs. Post-Treatment Outcomes of the project for the first year of operation include: Improve client retention in residential treatment by 25%; Increase days employed by 20%; Increase client income by 20%; Decrease arrest rates by 33%; Decrease use of illicit drugs by 50%; Decrease emergency room admissions by 40%; Decrease reliance upon public assistance by 25%
