The Fletcher Group Webinar

New Tools and Strategies to Enhance Your Financial Sustainability

All recovery residences face significant funding challenges, particularly those in rural areas. Fortunately, new tools and strategies are now available to assist you, several of which will be discussed in the Fletcher Group's November 6 webinar just two weeks from today at 2 pm EST.

What You'll Learn

Fletcher Group CEO Dave Johnson and Fletcher Group Health Economist Madison Ashworth will describe a variety of new resources that can enhance your home's long-term sustainability and resiliency. They include:

The Recovery Housing Landscape Report is an extensive documentdesigned to inform recovery housing financial planning and expansion. A year in the making, the 82-page report draws on information pulled from 420 organizations, including NARR state affiliates representing 1,483 recovery residences. The report also includes an in-depth overview of the most recent laws and policies with sections devoted to state laws, SAMHSA funding, Medicaid, corrections, and housing assistance plus numerous links to valuable resources and official documents.

The Fletcher Group Economic Calculator is an exciting tool that helps recovery program operators make wise financial decisions and win the support of stakeholders, funders, community members, and government officials. It does so by quantifying several economic benefits associated with recovery, including avoided healthcare costs, avoided criminal justice costs, avoided productivity costs, and the individual valuation of health. The tool can benefit all kinds of recovery programs, including recovery homes, residential treatment programs, outpatient programs, and recovery community organizations.  

Innovative Funding Models can make the difference when it comes to long-term financial sustainabilty. Johnson and Ashworth will talk specifically about the Recovery Kentucky Braided Funding Model implemented at the Women's Addiction Recovery Center in Henderson, Kentucky and the Washington State Health Care Authority's Foundational Community Supports (FCS) program that reimburses recovery residences for providing supportive housing and employment services to Medicaid beneficiaries.  

New Alternative Payment Models that seek to improve long-term outcomes for individuals with Substance Use Disorders by integrating housing support with comprehensive clinical and recovery-oriented services. Though they'll likely require additional training for recovery home operators, such APM's may financially benefit recovery homes by shifting payment processes from the traditional fee-for-service model to a Value-Based Care model.
