Organizations Filed Purposes: TO ASSIST WOMEN IN REBUILDING THEIR FAMILIES AS THEY BREAK THE CYCLE OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION AND IMPROVE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH STATUS SO THAT THEY CAN RETURN TO THEIR COMMUNITIES AS SELF-SUFFICIENT WOMEN CAPABLE OF PROVIDING A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND THEMSELVES.

RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT: FIRST STEP HOME IS THE ONLY RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY FOR WOMEN IN SOUTHWEST OHIO THAT ALLOWS WOMEN TO UNDERGO TREATMENT WHILE ALLOWING THEIR CHILDREN, UNDER THE AGE OF 12, TO LIVE WITH THEM. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2020, 189 WOMEN WERE ADMITTED TO OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM. WE PROVIDED OVER 323 BED DAYS FOR CHILDREN THAT LIVED WITH THEIR MOTHERS WHILE THEY WERE IN TREATMENT. 25 BABIES WERE BORN DRUG FREE TO CLIENTS DURING TREATMENT. THE AVERAGE AGE OF OUR CLIENTS WAS 33. AS REPORTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE "OPIATE EPIDEMIC" HAS HIT OUR CLIENTS. 65% OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE AN OPIATE ADDICTION, DOWN SLIGHTLY FROM THE PAST FEW YEARS AS WE ARE NOW SEEING INCREASES IN THE USE OF METHAMPHETAMINES AND ALCOHOL. OUR CLIENTS RECEIVED OVER 4,299 NIGHTS OF ROOM AND BOARD, ALONG WITH 590 HOURS OF INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, AND 671 HOURS OF CASE MANAGEMENT.

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT: OUR TYPICAL CLIENT BEGINS THEIR TREATMENT IN OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM AND THEN MOVES TO OUTPATIENT AS THEY ARE STABILIZED IN THEIR ADDICTION TREATMENT. WE HAVE TWO LOWER LEVELS OF CARE IN OUTPATIENT: ONE AT 6 DAYS OF TREATMENT PER WEEK AND A LOWER LEVEL OF 3 DAYS OF TREATMENT PER WEEK. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2020, 161 UNDUPLICATED CLIENTS RECEIVED SERVICE IN OUR OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS. DURING FY 2020 OUR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING SERVICES ON OUR CAMPUS PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY 18,910 BED DAYS TO THE CLIENTS RECEIVING OUTPATIENT SERVICES AT FIRST STEP HOME.
