Overview

Mission

To reduce and eliminate the abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the oswego county community through the provision of treatment services, prevention services, and intervention strategies, as well as networking with appropriate community agencies and providers of addiction related services.

What it reported doing in 2020

Treatment - operation of a medically supervised outpatient clinic for individuals who can maintain stability without the need for 24-hour supervision, live in an environment that is conducive to recovery, and have demonstrated functional skills for self-care. Employs an outreach system making outpatient drug fee treatment service for substance abusers accessible. 5,677 units of service provided in 2020.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
