Less hospitalizatons, lower costs. An 8% rehospitalization rate was reported in 2014 for Michigan Clubhouses compared to the 18.7% 30-day rehospitalization rate in the US for mental illness. The difference multiplied by nearly 3,000 members in Michigan, reveals an estimated cost savings of $2.53 million dollars statewide.
