Challenges Lack of funding and FT staff Need for experienced drug & alcohol staff Start-up money Need for facility improvements Marketing strategy Return of State funding Secure individual & corporate
contributions
My Role - Objectives To learn about drug and alcohol abuse,
addiction and recovery. To learn of previous funding sources
and current operations and programming at Faith Farm.
To determine the needs of the program. To increase funding for Faith Farm. To improve the public relations
campaign at Faith Farm.
Drug & Alcohol Statistics 1-in-2 adults and 2-in-3 teens in NJ who
seek treatment can’t get it. 3-in-4 New Jerseyans know someone
with an alcohol or drug problem. 1-in-5 New Jerseyans has a family
member with an alcohol or drug problem.
Treatment admissions have declined by nearly 15,000 over the last 10 years.
Untreated addiction costs America $400 billion per year. -ncaddnj
Update 10/4/11 – “Faith Farm will temporarily
discontinue the provision of substance abuse services effective 10/10/11. During the temporary interruption in the provision of services, all staff positions will be eliminated and current clients will be relocated to appropriate facilities to ensure continuity of care.” Faith Farm will continue to operate a soup kitchen, food bank and referral service for those in need.
