Savings per Youth= $79,174.80 (cost of residential treatment episode) - $43,286.54 (cost of a Choices episode) = $35,888.26 Savings to DCS = $35,888.26 * 85 youth = $3,050,502.10 Choicessaves DCS approximately 3 million dollars for every 100 youth they divert from residential treatment.

  14. Conclusions • Intensive care coordination models can be used to: • Serve more youth in the community • Reduce expenses for out-of-home placements • Improve outcomes for youth • Save money
