Number of Specialty Behavioral Health Services clients served (Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient Program, Medication Assisted treatment Program, and Adult Drug Court) 1211178200210220
1  Adult Drug Court admits 95%+ of the referrals from the Circuit Court so the decline in referrals likely led to the decline in client count in FY23. Another factor contributing to the slight decline in FY23 client count is personnel shortage. The program will see increased capacity in FY24.
