Abstract:
Representatives continue to debate the state budget in both the Senate and House. A contentious topic is the allocation of state funds to mental health, an umbrella term encompassing mental health concerns, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse problems. The Senate budget proposes $675.7 million to these areas while the House budget offers slightly more at $704.7 million and the article discusses the specific services and facilities facing budgetary cuts.

Abstract:
Facing a severe budget crisis, the NC is cutting funds for mental health services which will affect approximately 900, 000 North Carolinians. According to the Mental Health Study Commission, 600 million is needed for services and those services would save the state money in the long-term. There is bi-partisan support for funding, but it is unlikely to happen with the budget crisis.

Abstract:
North Carolina was once a leader in mental health, but after years of reforms the state no longer is. Because of this, the historic Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh has stopped accepting patients. Established in 1848, the hospital served up to as many as 3,000 patients at a time with two or three times as many workers. Mental health funding in the state has received major cuts over the years and it is cheaper to send patients to other facilities.

Abstract:
The Dorothea Dix mental health hospital in Raleigh is closing. There is an increasing nationwide trend of state hospitals for the mentally ill closing due to a lack of funding. These hospitals are often turned into expensive condos while the former patients of the hospitals find themselves in jails after losing their mental health care facilities and funding. People who are mentally ill and Dorothea Dix’s legacy deserve better and states should do more to help them.

Abstract:
Two-thirds of North Carolina’s funding for mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse service goes to maintain state institutions. Reform schools and special schools for blind and deaf children also attract high funding. Meanwhile, community-based programs receive far less money than the institutional programs, despite the state’s commitment to de-institutionalization.
