Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consistent with the Drug Policy goal to increase the number of residential treatment beds in Florida, Serenity House proposes to expand the current residential capacity for long-term domiciliary services from 40 beds to 50 beds.  The target population for domiciliary services includes chronic substance abuse clients with multiple disabilities who are unable to live successfully without structure and guidance provided by a sober and safe haven.  The proposed location for these services is on a five-acre tract in a rural setting near DeLand, owned by Serenity House which is appropriately zoned and licensed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

This program can provide treatment for the "revolving door" individuals who circulate through the criminal justice, treatment, and medical systems without resolution of their problems related to their intractable deficiencies.  An expanded residential domiciliary component, combined with existing and proposed managed care services, will stabilize these individuals.  Public costs related to law enforcement, prosecution, incarceration detoxification, crisis stabilization, and indigent medical care will be significantly reduced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

The outcome related to this project can advise the policy-makers regarding the cost-effectiveness of programs of this nature by identifying specific savings in law-enforcement, corrections, medical services, and related expenses by stabilizing these high risk individuals. Projected Pre-Treatment vs. Post-Treatment outcomes of the project for the first year of operation include: 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%.
