Mental Program (Continued from Page 1 ) money being allocated for this purpose. *'v We estimate the need for eight additional staff and a budget of $200,000. On numerous occasions, our Center has been contacted by individuals who wish to see us develop a methadone detox pro gram. This project could be inte grated with either the Mental Health Unit or the Hoke Hospital v? Unit. We perceive utilizing four beds for this purpose. We would utilize another four beds for per sons dependent upon nonopiates. The estimated cost is $100,000. A second project which could be developed on this campus is a moderate management group home. We recognize that the panel dealing with "Willie M." has been reluctant to develop programs on a state institution campus. This would not be a state institution campus. It would be a regional campus which would in clude many other programs. In cluded in these programs would be a prevention effort. By placing the moderate man agement group home at McCain Campus, we could develop training and prevention programs relevant to "Willie M.". The long-run effect would be to save money, better serve clients, and meet the needs of "Willie M.'s" and similar persons. It is our perception that an existing duplex could be utilized to serve six children. If this were not feasible, two of the three bedroom brick ranches could be so utilized. We estimate the cost of this program to be 5120,000. The next project we would like to place on this campus is the development of an inpatient "Wil lie M." program. It is possible that this project could serve the purpose of inpatient programming and serve that of providing high man agement training needs. We feel 10 children could be served. Existing rooms for use as time-out areas are available. Educational programs would need to be provided by the school corporation. We estimate the cost of this project as being $261,000. For several years, we have noted . the difficulties associated with plac ? ing mentally retarded and behavi ' orally disordered individuals within ? the program presently existent in | Wake County. ? We would propose to develop a ? new regional facility on the McCain j. Campus. Beds and facilities .exist. ? At least 10 persons could be served ; within the existing structures. ; The cost of this program would ? be $300,000. > The fifth project which could be > implemented on this campus would > be a 20-bed mental health unit for " individuals requiring more time in treatment than that presently avail '? able in the short-term program at ^ Moore Memoral Hospital. This '? moderate-term program would re .* duce our utilization of Dix Hospital ?i (in Raleigh) and be a major step in aiding us to deinstitutionalize. ? If funds are available and suffi cient. we would like to treat pre-teenagers. ? The estimated cost for this - program is $297,000. Another area of development is thai ot prevention programming. We perceive the state as being able : to develop a state wide prevention : institute which would be a major ;? step in developing alternatives to existing modalities of intervention. \ prevention, education and consul tation in the areas of mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse programming. It is our belief that Ruth Relos would be an excellent person to be in charge of this facility. 1 have discussed this concept with her. It is my perception that the state could bring in foundation support as well as existing and remaining federal support for prevention and ? . research programming bv making . this facility a state-wide and per haps national level prevention pro ; gram. I his facility could be housed in a ; portion of the hospital itself, a : portion of the administrative build t ing. as well as the utilization of two I three bedroom frame homes for use I by students during their stay on ? campus. An auditorium exists in the hospital which would be excellent for training and general resource ? sharing opportunities. This pro ? gram would have to pay its own way and he under your direction or vour > designee's. ;? An additional proposal is to ;? develop a training research pro . !? gram which would integrate with ;? the state-wide prevention effort. .}? This project would be well > integrated with that formerly de > scribed and would involve only a minor expansion of the Center's present Consultation. Education and Prevention Program. We estimate the cost of this to be . > $.16,000 per year. ? Our proposal to develop a com > prehensive and innovative outpa j? tient detoxification program could a become a reality with our taking $ responsibility for the McCain Cam ^ pus. ? Also, a permanent location for the Hoke Unit of Sandhills Center could be provided on this Campus. We estimate that 100 persons would be seen in our outpatient detox in the first year. We continue to estimate that more than 200 persons would be seen each month in our out-patient mental health unit within Hoke County. The total additional cost for these two programs being trans ferred to the McCain Campus would be $30,800. The above proposals are based on the assumption the state would provide the necessary new dollars in order for us to develop these programs. We understand the dollars would remain with the McCain Campus to assure its continued existence. We would ask that any proposals endorsed by the state of the type described above assure us that we would receive free facilities and utilities, including telephone. We would ask for S650.000 per year in addition to those dollars needed to operate the programs. These dollars would be utilized for the operation of maintenance, laboratory, food service, x-ray. EEG/EKG laboratory, and central supply. We would propose that the state take total responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the power plant and sewage treat ment plant. We would recommend that staff presently assigned to these two McCain facilities be reassigned to the prison staff component. An additional $313,000 would be needed to provide for food stuffs, linens, and general supplies needed in order to operate the abovemen tioned programs. Further, there would be a need for expansion of administrative staff. This would cost an additional $248,000. When one totals the cost of these program, it is quick to note that approximately $2 million in funds will be needed to maintain the McCain Campus and provide the numerous types of programs des cribed above. It is important to recognize that a number of these programs, for example "Willie M.". are already planned for funding and would not necessitate separate allocations by the Legislature or the Department of Human Resources. There would, however, need to be a significant additional allotment. (Our estimate is close to $2 million.) I would be very interested in reviewing our proposals with you and discussing their feasibility regarding actual implementation. I am available to meet with you at your convenience. I have appreciated the opportun ity to consider the option of developing a comprehensive and meaningful series of programs on the McCain Campus. I feci that the programs described above, if deve loped. would be a gold star for our state, as well as for our region and Sandhills Center. I feel that we can be a trend setter and actually show how to save money during a period of decreasing revenues. 1 recognize that there is an initial allocation that would be necessary but that, in the long run. more funds would actually be made available. "Willie M." programs could be better served by integrating preven tion, research and training with such programs. Further. deinstitutionalization could take a giant step forward through the integration of pro grams within the McCain Campus and our five county catchment area. Please note that our plan for the McCain Campus meets many of the objectives in our Annual. Deinsti tutionalization and Strategic Plans. Also, the Prevention Institute and general goals to be accomplished by the alorementioned programs will meet needs articulated by North Carolinians at county level NC 2000 meetings. Steven P.
