Case Management Services for American Indians who are Homeless and have Chronic Chemical Dependency or Co-occurring Chemical Dependency and Mental Illness
The program will provide services to chronic and homeless alcohol and drug dependent adults which are not paid for by the Consolidated Chemical Dependency Treatment Fund as service coordination activities. The goal of the project is to improve the safety, dignity and general quality of life of program participants, to reduce the program participants use of crisis and emergency services, and to assist them to improve their functioning. Although abstinence is a goal, it will not be required for continued participation in the program and it will not delay placement in permanent housing. Indicators of improvement in client functioning will include: reduced use of detoxification facilities by the clients; increased stability in the clients residential setting; participation of clients in needed treatment services; and reduced use of medical services by clients.
