Recent SAMHSA
(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
|
|
|
Administration)
supported research has verified the efficacy of the
|
|
|
clubhouse model.
In this study Clubhouse and PACT, Programs for
|
|
Assertive
Community Treatment, programs were compared to each
|
|
other. Clubhouse
participants were shown to have longer work
|
|
|
duration and
higher earnings than those in PACT* programs.
|
|
|
Clubhouse jobs
were of higher quality than those gotten by PACT
|
|
|
model programs.
And the cost per person was demonstrated to be
|
|
|
less in clubhouse
than in PACT with as good or better outcomes.
|
|
|
Clubhouse not
only addresses helping members (clients) get jobs,
|
|
|
but also
addresses their social needs, a shortfall in other less
|
|
|
comprehensive
model programs.
