TOPICS TO DISCUSS
THE FLETCHER GROUP FOR RECOVERY HOUSING
CONFUSION
Desperate families spend thousands of dollars with little to show.
LACK OF RESOURCES
Rural communities in particular lack the funds and resources to respond.
CHAOS
Recovery Housing is an unregulated industry prone to fraud and abuse.
HIGHER COSTS
Long-distance travel to facilities adds significantly to already high costs.
HIGHER RATES
mortality.
FEWER RESOURCES
Doctors diagnosing SUDs are less likely to have the resources and training for follow-up care.
GREATER STIGMA
Smaller rural communities may experience less privacy and, as a result, more social stigma.
GEOGRAPHY
Widely dispersed facilities and the technicalities of insurance can present additional problems.
COMPLEXITY
Areas lacking social services and education are also more likely to interact with the criminal justice system.
VULNERABLE
More Native Americans meet the diagnostic criteria for SUD than any other ethnic
DISTRUST
Of mainstream institutions exacerbated by treatment protocols that may be culturally insensitive.
To provide the standardized model and technical resource center needed to guide, support, and build a nation-wide recovery housing program in collaboration with federal, state and local governments, faith-based entities, and the private sector.
NATIONAL REACH
We're working in rural communities in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Kentucky, Georgia, West Virginia, Ohio, and other rural communites as requested
