Overview

Mission

The mission of the mcshin foundation is to deliver a message of hope to individuals with substance use disorders, and to facilitate their journey to a healthier life. Since its inception in 2004, the mcshin foundation has provided intervention and recovery services, housing services, community resource collaborative services, recovery education and advocacy, and a speaker series. The mcshin foundation was established both by and for the recovery community to promote strengths-based healing, utilizing evidence-based practices.

What it reported doing in 2024

The mcshin foundation has the ability to provide same day access to authentic peer recovery support services, as well as linkage to clinical services including detox, psychiatric evaluation, addiction consultations, individual therapy, and substance abuse counseling. Because of the nature of substance use disorders, access to immediate services is imperative to the recovery process.the residential component of mcshin's recovery program is often the most essential aspect of the recovery process. The recovery housing program for participants allows for structure, focus, and a sense of community to be constant elements of recovery. For current and prospective participants, the need for safe housing is crucial, especially as the most commonly served populations at mcshin foundation are individuals reentering society from incarceration or institutionalization, recovery-resistant individuals with a history of relapse, and individuals seeking aftercare for treatment centers. Additionally, access to recovery housing is paramount for an individual's first thirty days of recovery as it is during this critical period when the greatest inroads are made into building a recovery foundation. 210 participants came through the 28 day program in fiscal year 2024-2025 and 153 of those completed the 28 day program. 7,881 indigent bed nights and 123 received 28 day program scholarships.
