Overview

Mission

The organization is a multi-service, multi-funded, community mental health center with outpatient mental health and chemical dependency programs, and a spectrum of residential programs.

What it reported doing in 2019

Drug and alcohol - outpatient rehabilitation and educational service to the alcoholic and their families. Services include individual, group and family therapy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
