The plan, still awaiting commission feedback, would redirect funding from existing social detox programs and partner Avalon with key recovery organizations to streamline care — offering short-term stabilization before longer-term treatment. With a startup cost of $142K for the first six months and an estimated annual spend of $284K by 2027, the initiative seeks to relieve pressure on the Treatment and Recovery Center while maintaining psychiatric evaluations at the original site. No decision is expected yet — but if approved, contract talks could begin by July. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
