Background:
Metamorphosis is a long term residential treatment program for adults with substance abuse and/or mental health illness. The facility has a capacity for 21 clients who participate in a variety of treatment activities. Metamorphosis has been in Covid protocol, operating at approximately 75% of capacity. The Program receives funding from the State of Florida to support it operations. These funds are also matched with a contribution from the Alachua County General Fund.
LSF provides funding for MRT’s that respond to anyone under the age of 25 experiencing a crisis situation, 24 hours day. Funding to implement the needed systems and staffing for the soon coming 988 crisis/emotional support line is also provided. LSF previously added and increased funding which has not been fully utilized due to the time needed to recruit and hire staff, obtain a vehicle, and make physical changes to the Crisis Center telephone room.
