Allumbaugh House
Overview History Governance Operations History Decades in development – really started in earnest in 2005. First was the “100 bed” plan that had to be scaled back. Gap filled Cost Effective Approach Unique and unprecedented public-private partnerships Governance Joint Powers Entity and Professional Resources Committee Operations Allumbaugh House opened May 3, 2010 as a regional facility offering sobering, detoxification, and crisis mental health services to all qualified residents. Allumbaugh House serves Region IV (Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley Counties) residents and is designed as a pilot project for expansion and regional implementation throughout Idaho. Allumbaugh House is a result of more than five years of collaborative partnership between Ada County, the City of Boise, the City of Meridian, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center and United Way of Treasure Valley. This partnership built the facility on property owned by the City of Boise. The facility is owned and maintained by Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority. Terry Reilly Health Services operates Allumbaugh House, contracts with Sage Health Care for psychiatric and medical care and employs twenty seven staff. Life’s Kitchen provides lunch and dinner service and Terry Reilly Health Services partners with other community entities for operations and continuity of client services. Allumbaugh House is open for detoxification and crisis mental health services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The sobering station is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. each week. Priority is given to clients with low income and/or lack of health insurance coverage. Admission to Allumbaugh House is voluntary and based on capacity. A referral must be made by designated professionals for admission to Allumbaugh House. The 9,200 square foot facility has an annual operating budget of $1.9 million. Sobering station – opened with the money we had. Could only operate 2 days a week given funds. Decision was made to pull that part back. Fortunately, ID health and welfare is now prioritizing 24 hour community crisis centers which will interface with Allumbaugh House. That will provide the opportunity for community members and law enforcement to utilize this resource.
Saving Lives Allumbaugh House Services Success Stories Continuum of Care Services Allumbaugh House provides a holistic approach to treatment. Clients are screened, assessed and treatment is administered for detoxification, sobering, mental health and medical management based on need. Upon discharge, clients are connected to community providers for continuation of services and housing needs to encourage stability and continued recovery. Allumbaugh House also offers a weekly Alumni Meeting for former clients to connect and share their successes and challenges. Success Stories Alumni Meetings Low recidivism rate Continuum of Care 63% homeless; 37% housed Allumbaugh House is a member of the Boise City/Ada County Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care manages a community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. It includes action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. Allumbaugh House is an important component of the Continuum of Care strategy and fills a gap in community services for those in need of detoxification, sobering and critical mental health services that are uninsured or otherwise unable to pay for services. The engagement of Allumbaugh House in the Continuum of Care assists in providing continuity of services to clients upon discharge.
