Evidence-Based Treatment of Chemical Dependency, Mental Illness, and Co-Occurring Disorders: Benefits, Costs, and Fiscal Impacts—Interim Report
Open Publication PDF

Steve Aos - January 2006

The 2005 Washington State Legislature directed the Institute to examine the following questions:

  • Can evidence-based treatment for people with mental health and chemical dependency disorders save money for state and local governments?
  • Viewed more broadly, do total benefits outweigh total costs?
The specific assigned task is to project state and local fiscal savings and other impacts of evidence-based treatments for those with chemical dependency disorders, mental illness, or both. This interim report summarizes the research approach and work currently underway. A final report will be presented to the Legislature by June 30, 2006.
