Mental Health and Recovery Services Perry County Renewal Levy
On May 5th
Vote FOR Mental Health & Recovery Services
The Mental Health & Recovery Services Board is responsible, by law, for ensuring the availability of high-quality mental health and alcohol/drug recovery services to residents of Muskingum, Coshocton, Guernsey, Morgan, Noble and Perry Counties. One way the Board meets this mandate is to generate local public support through tax levies.
How We're Keeping Help Close to Home:
For every dollar spent on substance abuse treatment, there is an economic return of $4.00 to $7.00; for mental health treatment, the economic return is $5.00 per person.
It's local funding helping local agencies helping local people... Your neighbors... Your family... Your friends... Your peace of mind.
Drug treatment costs approximately $20,000 less than incarceration per person per year for a drug-related crime.
