SQ 744 FACT OF THE WEEK

According to Commissioner Terry White of the Dept. of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services
if SQ 744 is passed it will mean a $40 million reduction to her department. There are currently
600-900 people on waiting lists for residential substance abuse help.......the wait and the number of people waiting would increase dramatically. Thousands of Oklahoman's would lose their community support services, become more acutely ill, lose their jobs, drop out of school, and no longer lead productive lives because of this potential cut.
