6 The Nevada County Nugget Wed., March 19, 1975 County okays mental health plan The Nevada County 1975-76 Mental Health Plan has been approved by supervisors as recommended by the mental health advisory board. Presenting the program and the tentative budget Tuesday were Dr. Robert Smith and Dale Rinard, program director and administrator respectively for Sierra View Mental Health. Although supervisors formally failed to approve the tentative budget they indicated. they will at budget time if the state provides its share of costs as reflected in the tentative document. The county’s share of the cost of mental health in the tentative budget is $57,340. The total amount was projected at $413,869 with the state contributing 90 per cent on a 9010 matching basis. Dr. Smith explained that the form of the county health plan is mandated by the state. He said the local plan. includes input from various agencies and from two public meetings held by Sierra View. Programs developed during the past fiscal year include individual and group therapy, individual and group counseling, increased services to the schools and inmates in the jail. Citizens, at the public hearings, expressed needs for increased mental health services. High on their priority list were a non-medical detoxification center for alcoholics and drug abusers, a full day treatment center, and 24 hour hospitalization. Dr. Smith explained that the state allocates a certain number of days at Napa State Hospital to Nevada county and charges it to the local account regardless of whether or not the days are used. The charge is $247,000 for 4,000 days with the county only using about half of its allocation. He and Rinard said they have tried to correct the situation. If the unused hospital days’ money could be returned to the county it would finance a day care center and help toward providing 24-hour care. The state, according to Dr. Smith and Rinard, at one time did reimburse the county for some of the lost hospital days but apparently has established a verbal change of policy and the amount now is not reimbursable. ‘ “The whole philosophy of closing state hospitals is to treat people at home,’’ was the attitude of the board. Supervisor Eric Rood believes that the state’s action is wrong and possibly illegal. It was agreed that the local board will take the issue to the es a Be siice Suangee iri nue Rural Association of County Supervisors, because other counties are experiencing the same problem. Whether Short-Doyle funds should finance ‘conservatorship in some cases also appeared to generate contention.
