Substance Abuse Unit Exceeds National Averages in Its First Year
The Pride program now operated as the Substance Abuse Unit at 630 Central Avenue Hamilton treated 167 persons in its first year under the Butler County Mental Health Center. Sixty percent were under eighteen, males outnumbered females three to one, eighty six percent were white, and about three fourths had prior arrests. Ninety four percent stayed in counseling over one month, and outcomes were above the national average with many remaining drug and arrest free and maintaining employment or schooling. The unit offers various counseling services and operates 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays with after hours by appointment. Referrals are via 867-1100. Funding comes from the local mental health levy with state and federal matching monies.
