On June 14, 2010, Health & Medicine Policy Research group (HMPRG) hosted a forum, “The State’s Fiscal Crisis: Changing Our Collective Response.” With over 70 attendees, the forum explored the impact of the State’s budget and recent cuts on health and human services in Illinois. Participants heard from panel speakers about how we might collectively respond to the crisis and ensure responsible and adequate funding for education, health, and human services in Illinois. Materials from the forum can be found on the HMPRG website (www.hmprg.org)

15. Addiction Healthcare Cuts
Yield Increased Costs:
Additional Cuts in FY 11 to Addiction Prevention and
Treatment Services Result in $280 million in Related Costs
Failure by the State to adequately fund alcohol and drug prevention, treatment
and recovery services results in the State paying out billions in costs associated
with untreated addiction. Annually, the State of Illinois spends only $1 on
addiction healthcare services for every $33 that is allocated to pay for the
consequences of substance use disorders and addiction.
Of the estimated $4.85 billion spent annually in Illinois on issues related
to substance use and addiction, only $147 million is actually spent
on the prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug use and
addiction.
By cutting Addiction Prevention and Treatment state funding by 8% in
FY11, on top of cuts already imposed in FY10, the State will need to add an
additional $280 million to cover the expenses that will be incurred in
Criminal Justice, Education, Healthcare, Child Welfare, and Public Safety as
a result of untreated addictions.

16. WHAT’S NEXT???
Reality at the agency level:
Inability for Board to pass FY 2011 Budget
(varies based on %age of State Dollars that comprise the
agency’s budget)
Given the “state of the state” – prepare staff and
clients/patients for layoffs and admin detox
Look for additional places to cut expenses – not likely
since that has been ongoing since FY 2009
Verify Line of Credit still available [NOTE: may be
harder this year w/ the State as the source of the
Account Receivable balance]
