  What Do Donations Support?

A donation to Brandywine Counseling supports our work, helping addicted Delawareans change behaviors and attitudes. It's one of the best ways to invest your charitable dollars or your volunteer time. Here are just a few reasons why:

• The Delaware Needle Exchange has exchanged over 28,000 syringes, enrolled over 650 participants, and identified 14 HIV positives in nearly three years of operation.

• 449 methadone patients (40%) have at least 90 days of abstinence.

• The Alpha outpatient program discharged 44% of patients successfully or with some goals completed in 2009.

• Intensive Outpatient Services were introduced in 2009 at Lancaster, Alpha, and Lighthouse to offer a higher level of care to individuals not succeeding in the traditional program.

• The Newark Center saw a 25% increase in the number of patients remaining in treatment for one year or more in 2009.

• The BCI Capital Endowment Fund helps us maintain comfortable, state-of-the-art facilities. In past years, donations to the Fund have supported construction of a children's playground at Lighthouse, repairs to our facilities, and renovations to the Lancaster Avenue dispensing area.

• Treatment Services - Drug addiction treatment is cost-effective and less expensive than the alternatives of incarcerating addicts or not treating them at all. Every $1 invested in addiction treatment programs results in a return of $4-$7 in reduced drug-related crime, theft, and criminal justice costs. When savings related to health care are included, the total return can be as high as $12. If you wish, you may designate your donation for the BCI program of your choice.

• HIV Prevention - BCI’s HIV Prevention Services unit is the beneficiary of our United Way funding. This innovative program helps connect individuals in need of treatment to the appropriate resources. Services include street outreach, risk reduction, and free HIV testing.
