Feature Grant Story

Increasing Access to Mental Health and Addiction Services
Recovery Resources Removes Barriers to Treatment & Care

DSC_2794 - Grant Feature Photo Home Page.JPG Deciding to seek treatment for behavioral health and/or addiction disorder is a difficult step to initiate and often complicated by obstacles to accessing care. The National Institute of Health reports one in five adults experience mental illness each year with less than half receiving treatment, while one in ten adults experience a drug or alcohol problem with only eleven percent receiving treatment.
