Alcohol and other drug problems cause pervasive effects: biological, psychological, and social consequences for the user; psychological and social effects on family members and others; increased risk of injury and death to self, family members, and others (especially by accidents, fires, or violence); and derivative social and economic consequences for society at large.
The location of facilities with alcohol and substance use programs is shown on Maps 3-4 and 3-5. Each of the fourteen (14) regional community health centers provide a variety of alcohol and drug services, including residential and transitional treatment programs, along with recovery support services. Tables 3-4 and 3-5 show the utilization of these facilities for adult and adolescent chemical dependency services, respectively. The community mental health centers (CMHCs) with whom DMH contracts are the foundation and primary service providers of the public substance use disorders services delivery system. Each CMHC serves a designated number of Mississippi counties. There are sixty-seven (67) community-based satellite centers throughout the state which allow greater access to services by the area's residents. The goal is for each CMHC to have a full range of treatment options available for citizens in its region. Other nonprofit service agencies/organizations, which make up a smaller part of the service system, also receive funding through the DMH to provide community-based services. Many of these free-standing nonprofit organizations receive additional funding from other sources such as grants from other state agencies, community service organizations, donations, etc.
Substance use disorder services usually include:
