Factoid Friday 11

A new study conducted by Oregon State of California's mental health care systems that were implemented in 2004 has interesting new evidence. They found that, in most cases, comprehensive, community-based mental health care has helped those with mental illness transition to more independent living and may actually save the state money while reducing the negative effects of institutionalization on patients' lives.
