Primary Exempt PurposeMake A Difference, Inc. is a state licensed Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program designed to treat the critical needs (mental health and chemical addiction issues) of indigent and uninsured adults in need of intensive treatment on an outpatient basis. However, these individuals cannot afford to pay for such needed services. State grants such as CTC- Community Treatment Collaboration, ARP-Addiction Recovery Program, and Shelby County government make it possible to assist in meeting the needs of these indigent clients. Our treatment services include individual, group, family therapy, case management services, home monitoring, psychiatric evaluations by an MD Board Certified psychiatrist, medications, medication follow-up, transportation, housing assistance, as well as collaborating with other health agencies that provide medical, dental, and vision care to help meet the overall needs of our clients in the community.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Addiction Recovery Program reimburses for addiction recovery services rendered. ARP grants help make it possible to continue to treat countless individuals in need of our services. The beneficial outcome of our program has helped clients become mentally stable, gain sobriety from a lifestyle of alcohol/chemical addiction, get their GED or go back to school, become employed or get job promotions, elevate an individual's self-esteem, develop a sense of hopefulness, tell others about how they can benefit by participating in our program, etc. Additional funding is needed in order to meet the growing demands of our target population. More state federal funding would allow our agency to expand and create more programs that will prove to be even more beneficial to the clients we serve. We take pleasure in meeting the needs of our clients.$25,552$55,413
