| Project Description: |
| In 1999, Serenity House implemented a project to provide specialized long-term residential treatment to the highest risk substance abusers/mentally ill in Volusia County. This program has successfully provided residential treatment, case management, housing, counseling, and advocacy to deter "revolving door" individuals from high cost, publicly funded hospitalization and incarceration. Outcome and cost effectiveness data (attached) indicate the significant impact of this program upon employment, arrests, hospitalizations, and successful community reintegration. Volusia County has provided capital funding to allow for expansion of this important treatment resource. |
