2014 IBHANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends of IBHWe hear the stories in the news almost every day. Methamphetamines causing destruction in a local neighborhood. Another life destroyed by opiate addiction. Another death from heroin.

Prescription pain pills are paving the way of a heroin epidemic, and the number of heroin related deaths in Ohio has doubled in two short years.

Addiction to drugs and/or alcohol is a widespread problem. It does not discriminate with age, gender, race or socioeconomic status. Therefore, addiction requires the response in our community to be widespread.

IBH is a key member of the community and in 2014, IBH continued to create a better, more extensive model of treatment for addiction. Building on the successful Phases of Treatment that were introduced in 2013, IBH learned that more clients were successful in treatment when they play an active role in evaluating their issues and mapping out a course of treatment. IBH admitted 317 clients in 2014, and achieved a 5% increase in the number of approved discharges over the previous year using the phases of treatment.

But IBH didn’t stop there. One of the goals in the 2014 strategic plan focused on post-treatment resources. Many of our clients face significant challenges when they leave treatment, and many relapse back to old habits. In February, 2014, The IBH REACH Project was launched to support graduates of IBH for up to two years post-treatment. Through partnerships in the community, members of The REACH Project volunteer as a group in a variety of service projects. Members stay busy, build a work ethic, and develop a sense of togetherness and support, and the results are astounding. Between 89% - 92% of REACH participants have remained sober after treatment.

The success of IBH was also driven by the support of the greater community. The Board of Trustees welcomed new members and reached a capacity of 20 highly active and dedicated trustees. Partnerships with the ADM Board of Summit County, City of Akron, and numerous foundations, donors, and volunteers provided IBH with resources to continue this necessary work.

We invite you to learn more about IBH in this annual report. Thank you for your continued support.

MISSIONIBH offers persons afflicted with alcohol and drug addiction the opportunity to restore hope and gain skills for a lifetime of sobriety.

VALUESIBH builds its treatment philosophy around four core values: Dignity, Community, Stewardship (Outcomes), and Spirituality.

IBH values the dignity of every person.

Treatment at IBH occurs in a community, not in isolation.

IBH believes that stewardship must be outcome-driven and operate on a theory of change that will maximize our clients’ opportunities to develop a life of sobriety.

Persons have a spiritual dimension. We are made for activities and relationships that align with our true calling and are worthy of our dignity as persons.

The MeasureOf OurSuccessPHASES OF TREATMENT INCREASE APPROVED DISCHARGE RATESPhases of Treatment were developed because too many clients were leaving treatment at an early stage of the recovery process. Phase I, the engagement workshop, invites a client to play an active role in evaluating his or her issues and working with a trained counselor to map out a course of treatment. This allows a client to enter Phase II with more motivation and a stabilized mental and emotional state. At the end of 2014, 84% of clients entering Phase I successfully completed Phase I. 76% of clients entering Phase II successfully completed Phase II, which increased the approved discharge rate to 63% (up 5% vs. prior year).

POST TREATMENT PROGRAMMING INTRODUCEDThe IBH REACH Project, a spiritual and social after-care program was launched in March 2014. The program was designed to give graduates of IBH a platform to stay busy, build a work ethic, and develop a safe community of sober support for up to two year post treatment.

Research shows that boredom, rejection, and unsafe housing and friendships are the biggest reasons that people relapse after treatment. By providing IBH graduates a safe program that engages them in community service, graduates have demonstrated an increased self-esteem, work ethic, and chance for long-term sobriety.

In 2014, The REACH Project engaged 169 graduates of IBH in 183 volunteer projects and 4,313 hours of volunteer service. Post-treatment surveys revieled 89 – 92% of the graduates stayed sober if they participated in at least three REACH activities.

OUTCOME MEASURES SHOW SUCCESS OF TREATMENT2014 was the first full year that IBH collected outcome measure data to assist the staff in developing even more effective treatment.

IBH REACTS TO CRISIS*At the end of 3rd quarter, IBH was positioned to meet the outcome measures for the year. Unfortunately, two clients brought bed bugs to the residences which forced the necessary evacuation and decontamination of the infected areas. This caused the average daily census to drop in the 4th quarter and ultimately affected the final outcome measures.

This unfortunate event allowed IBH to emerge as a stronger agency with new policies and procedures during the admission process. New furniture was ordered, and cosmetic upgrades to the women’s house included new flooring, renovated dining area, ceiling tiles and fresh paint throughout the residence. Work on the men’s residence continued into 2015.

UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN’S AWARD IBH was presented the Campaign Chairman’s Award from the United Way. This award is presented to organizations with extraordinary achievement, outstanding increases and successful first-time campaigns. As a first-time participant in the United Way campaign, almost two-thirds of IBH employees participated in the campaign and raised $9,384.

IBH RECEIVES BBB DESIGNATIONIBH Addiction Recovery Center received approval as a Charity Seal Program of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). IBH met all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability based on a review of information and materials provided by the organization and reviewed by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.

PRIVATE PAY CLIENTS CONTINUE TO INCREASETo more efficiently utilize resources, IBH serviced 30 self-pay clients in 2014. A total of 1,546 units of service was provided, generating over $309,000 in revenue.

In October 2014, Dave H. was in his car with tears rolling down his face. It had been 30 years since Dave checked into IBH Addiction Recovery Center, and a lifetime of memories was flashing through his mind.

He thought about the people that helped him. He thought about the first time he prayed. He thought about the people that he hurt.

As a young teen, alcohol abuse was a common occurrence for Dave. His abuse gave way to stronger drugs including marijuana, LSD, cocaine, and heroin, and the abuse continued into adulthood. “Even though I wasn’t having fun drinking,” says Dave, “I did not look as drinking as my problem. I looked at my job, my marriage…everything else was my problem. Drinking is what I did to curb the emotions.”

On October 21, 1984, Dave’s life came to a halt when he overdosed on vial of pure menthol, box of baking soda, and quarter ounce of cocaine following a four day alcohol binge. He landed in a detox facility for 8 days before being sent to IBH Addiction Recovery Center.

Dave described his first days in detox and treatment as confusion multiplied by fear. He described the “noise and committees” that were running through his head and the inability to slow his mind down without drugs or alcohol. “I was just a shell of a human being,” said Dave, “It was completely over for me.”

Dave approached the house manager at IBH who, in turn, asked Dave if he knew how to pray. Feeling like God had had enough of him, Dave walked outside, stood on the front porch, and looked to the sky. He muffled through a quick prayer, and despite the dense cloudy day, a small ray of sun broke through the clouds. Dave claimed the ray of sun as his and began to focus on the spiritual component of recovery.

Dave stayed at IBH for 139 days. He credits the staff who cared for him “24/7”, AA and the 12-Steps, and a loving, forgiving God as the main reasons he was able to heal mentally, physically and emotionally.

30 YEARS AND STILL SOBERDave travelled back to IBH on the 30 year anniversary of his sobriety. As he began his 30 minute drive, he didn’t think about himself. “You know, they called my mom after my OD and told her I had brain damage…” said Dave. “Once I started to get healthy, I started to wonder what it must have been like to take that phone call. And I really started to understand how my behaviors affected other people. I was so selfish, so self-centered that I could see no good anymore.” Dave described the power he felt in the chapel during his time at IBH, and he couldn’t wait to touch it again. 30 years later, Dave walked in the chapel again and whispered two words, “thank you.”
