Part of the problem is that the first group, untreated, can turn into the second group. Which is why early intervention and support are so important, and a lot cheaper.
When it gets bad, it can take a long time for a policy change to really start working. :(
It would be interesting to see the conversion rate there.
From what I’ve seen from addiction and severe mental illness (wife was an addiction counselor and I’ve volunteered at the local shelter), when they become homeless they’re past the point where a simple hand up will help. At that point they’ve typically burned all of their bridges and have effectively zero trust from their previous support network.
Most of them would greatly benefit from an inpatient facility. Thanks Reagan.
