Abstract

Purpose:  The San Antonio population of nearly 1.4 million people is centered in Bexar County. The county hospital district (a.k.a, University Health System (UHS)) provides one county hospital. The MH/MR authority and provider of mental health services for Bexar county is the Center for Health Care Services (CHCS) which focuses on priority mental health populations rather than on substance abuse treatment; though substance abuse is a common co-morbidity. Throughout San Antonio, there are several private non-profit organizations that provide substance abuse care through grants and also contracts with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The largest provider of substance abuse services is a charity known as the Patrician Movement (PM) which is the primary referral source for CHCS and UHS patients with substance dependence. This study assessed the clinical activity of these three primary organizations throughout the year 2006 to examine issues of the continuity of care our in community.
