High turnover in medical staff was a concern. In two resentative reviews, former employees wrote: “Like most public health jobs, it was a stressful environment to work in,” yet, “My work ethic and commitment to the agency and the promotion of quality services was shared by a majority of my co-workers.” One non-treatment staff member noted that employees received education in mental health treatment.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The cost of treatment at Tuscola Behavioral Health Services in Michigan is supported by federal, state, and local government contracts; by some client insurance plans; and by client payments based on a sliding fee scale.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, this facility is beginning to offer <strong>services through Tuscola Mental Health Court and Thumb Regional Sobriety Court programs</strong>.
