Appendix B — Statistical Sample of Dual Disorder Patients in Treatment
A cost analysis of running dual disorder programs was included as an illustration for maintaining optimum mental health among patients. Three urban programs in urban areas – one that provided day and evening intensive outpatient services on the West Coast – provided actual cost data to the consensus panel chair, covering fiscal years 1991-1992. One of the hospitals served patients as intensive outpatient care during the day. The other was in the Northeast. The third program, based in the Northwest, provided daytime intensive outpatient therapy, partial hospitalization, and intensive case management.
Tables below include descriptive information about programs, such as their institutional status (for example, public or private), payment mix (for example, Medicaid or privately-payable patients), the number of clients served (“at full capacity”), salary levels, and other expenses (for instance, facility costs). On the final page of each report, you will find a list of the total expenses for each program, as well as total revenue.
